Mumbai, July 2025 – Hurix Digital just pulled off something big with a leading European academic publisher. They’ve wrapped up a project that brought alt text to 18,000 French eBooks, opening doors for visually impaired readers and keeping everything in line with accessibility standards. It’s a win that shows Hurix Digital’s knack for making education reachable for everyone.
This wasn’t a simple task. Handling that many eBooks meant figuring out how to scale up without letting quality slip. Alt text needed to be descriptive and relevant to truly serve readers relying on it. Hurix Digital’s team leaned on their know-how in digital content to get it done, and now those eBooks are more than just words on a screen; they’re accessible to a whole new group of learners.
Gokulnath Balasubramanian, Vice President – Content Transformation, Hurix Digital, couldn’t hide his excitement. “We loved teaming up with this amazing publisher,” he said. “Their collection of French eBooks is huge, and we’ve helped make it available to everyone. Our crew used their skills to crank out top-notch alt text on a massive scale. It’s proof we can tackle tough challenges and keep inclusivity front and center.”
What came out of this teamwork is pretty remarkable. Visually impaired readers now have access to 18,000 eBooks they might’ve missed out on before. The publisher covered accessibility rules, too, which is a big relief. There are no legal worries, just a wider reach. And it’s not only screen-reader users who benefit; the detailed alt text adds a little extra something for everyone flipping through these titles.
Hurix Digital showed they can handle accessibility project this size without breaking a sweat. Sorting out the logistics of 18,000 eBooks isn’t easy, but they made it look smooth. The takeaway? Education’s getting more inclusive, and barriers are coming down for readers who need it most.
