- Ally's alternative formats will only be as accessible as the original source file. You should therefore always ensure you follow accessible practice when creating your source file.
- It is almost always easier to edit the source file for accessibility than editing a PDF version of a file.
- Ally's accessibility check does not evaluate the quality of alt text provided.
- Ally does not flag the reading order of document elements. If set incorrectly, the audio alternative format may have content that is read out in the wrong order. Microsoft Office's accessibility checker does check and flag reading order, so should be used.
- Blackboard has been made aware that the colour scheme of the score indicator (Red, Orange and Green) is not entirely accessible.
- There can be some delay (of up to a few hours) in generating alternative formats the first time it is requested, especially for large files. Once the alternative format is generated it becomes accessible to other staff and students, and should be much quicker to download.
- Additionally, when you address accessibility issues in your documents and reupload them, you may need to wait 24 hours (or so) for your course's 'Accessibility report' to be updated.
- Ally does not keep a copy of any of your files, they remain in Moodle.
