For Immediate Release
Streamline Unveils DocAccess: Making Digital Public Documents Accessible for All
SACRAMENTO, CA – August 20, 2025 – Streamline, the trusted partner of over 2,500 local governments nationwide, announced the launch of DocAccess, a breakthrough solution that transforms digital documents into fully ADA-compliant, accessible formats.
For many years, Streamline has helped public agencies modernize websites, meet compliance requirements, and engage their communities online. That work revealed a persistent challenge: inaccessible PDFs and digital documents that create barriers for community members with disabilities. Traditional remediation has been costly, slow, and burdensome — often forcing individuals to wait days or weeks for accessible versions of vital public information.
“At Streamline, our mission has always been communities better served,” said Mac Clemmens, Co-Founder & CEO of Streamline. “DocAccess is a natural extension of that promise — removing one of the biggest barriers to digital accessibility. For too long, community members with disabilities have faced delays and obstacles in accessing public documents. With DocAccess, those barriers are reduced. We’re proud to give agencies a tool that makes transparency and accessibility simple, affordable, and instant.”
DocAccess automatically converts PDFs into WCAG 2.1 AA-compliant HTML transcripts that are screen-reader friendly, translatable into 150+ languages, and instantly usable by every community member. With just a one-time setup, agencies can eliminate the delays and expenses of manual remediation while ensuring equitable access across all their public documents.
“DocAccess is by far the best solution of its kind on the market today. As a life-long screen reader user, I can confidently say that it just works, exactly as advertised. The decades-long PDF accessibility problem has finally, finally been solved. No longer do I breathe a sigh of annoyance upon seeing a terrible PDF, because DocAccess fixes it right up for me without losing out on context. Stop searching for the next greatest thing, it’s right here.”
