Many businesses and government agencies have found it difficult to comply with the <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />ADA's requirement to make public documents accessible to persons who are blind or visually impaired. Because businesses are unable to anticipate demand for specific Braille documents, it can be quite challenging and costly to keep a stocked library of them. Braille Works has created a system called 'Access on Demand' giving government agencies and large businesses an easier way to comply with the ADA's regulations. Instead of keeping a stocked library of Braille documents, Access on Demand enables organizations to register their public documents with Braille Works online in addition to a link or a phone number where customers can order the alternative file. After Braille Works receives the order and puts the document in the correct format, it sends the document directly back to the organization; allowing customers to view the document when requested without delay. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
