We all know that easy writing or translating doesn’t exist. 

Most of the time, we create content for sighted users and don’t think about accessibility. Is it difficult to change that? 

Let’s start our workshop with examples of content created for:
1.    Screen readers. 
2.    Daily challenges users can have, for example:
a.    ADHD
b.    Short-term and long-term memory problems
c.    Dyslexia
d.    Processing speed
e.    Depression
f.    After-covid fog brain
g.    Neurodivergence 

Let’s continue with a discussion about popular writing standards, for example:
1.    Clear writing
2.    Plain English
3.    IBM's Easy English
4.    ASD Simplified Technical English
5.    Caterpillar Technical English

Let’s finish with some tips and tricks on how to: 
1.    Start detecting inaccessible content,
2.    Create and reshape content,
3.    Cooperate with other departments in the company.

Takeaways

We will: 
1.    Share our experience and show how we use language to help our users work and enjoy the tool.
2.    Ask you to write and rewrite a short copy.
3.    Show some tools to use when writing.
