What it is
PREP is a cloud-based document remediation platform designed to convert PDFs and other documents into accessible formats that meet recognized accessibility standards. The product is presented as a web application that does not require local installation and is built to support organizational workflows for document accessibility. Its interface guides users through a three-step process: uploading a document, reviewing and modifying detected structure and tags, and producing a document that passes accessibility checks. The platform is positioned to support compliance with standards such as Section 508, ADA Title II, PDF/UA and WCAG. PREP is offered alongside remediation services from its provider and is described as incorporating AI-driven automation to reduce manual remediation effort and to improve accuracy over time.
Key features
PREP includes AI-based auto-tag detection that analyzes document structure and suggests tags for headings, lists, tables and table of contents entries. The platform provides an interactive review and editing environment for correcting or refining auto-detected elements and for adjusting output intended for screen reader users. Built-in accessibility reporting flags issues and guides users to fixes. The service supports collaborative workflows by assigning parts of documents to different users and tracking remediation tasks. As a cloud product it delivers browser access, automatic feature updates, and integrations via APIs. The broader product set mentioned on the site also references image alt-text generation and a color contrast checker as related capabilities.
Use cases
Organizations that manage large volumes of instructional, administrative or public-facing documents are the primary users described, including higher education institutions, municipalities and government agencies, and financial institutions. Typical tasks include remediating course materials, public PDFs and scanned documents with complex tables to meet legal and technical accessibility requirements. PREP is used both by teams working in-house and by clients who outsource large-scale remediation to the provider; use cases emphasize reducing manual turnaround time, enabling multiple contributors to work on a document, and producing documents that can be validated against accessibility checkers for compliance.
