Pricing — from $0.45 a page

Pay per page. No subscription. Credits don't expire.

Buy credits in advance. 1 credit fixes one page of a PDF, and the fixed file stays a PDF. You see how many a set of documents needs before anything starts. A free account includes your first 50 pages.

The documents a city, county or district posts are covered by the ADA Title II web rule, with some exceptions. GovAccess fixes what software can in each PDF and tells you what a person should still check; it does not certify compliance.

What a credit buys

  • Text under scanned pages

    Where the whole file is a scan with no text, its pages get text a screen reader can read aloud, where the scan can be read.

  • A title and a language

    The document's title and language are set, so a screen reader can announce it.

  • Named form boxes

    Form boxes get names a screen reader speaks, taken from the words printed beside them where there are any.

  • Headings and reading order

    Where the document, your account and the service allow it, headings, lists and tables are marked inside the file — and the reading order is checked where it can be, with any place it jumps shown to you.

  • Picture descriptions

    Where that structure is written and your account has picture descriptions on, pictures get a description written by AI, shown beside the picture for you to check.

  • A plain report

    What was fixed, and what a person should still check, in plain words beside each file.

A web-page (HTML) version of a document is optional, at 1 credit a page.

Example

What comes back, in colours

An example: a fictional Town of Sampleton agenda

  • Still a problem: Some text is hidden from screen readers — see below
  • Needs you: Title read from the largest type on the first page — check it
  • Needs you: Language read from the document's text — check it
  • Needs you: Marked the parts of each page — listen to check them
  • Done: Title set
  • Done: Shows its title, not the file name
  • Done: Title also saved in the file's details
  • Done: No reading-order jumps found
  • Not needed: Words already readable
  • Not needed: Form fields — none missing a name

✓ Green done automatically · ! Amber needs you or was not checked: look at it before you publish · ✕ Red still a problem · – Grey not needed

Text a screen reader will skip

This text was marked as decoration, so a screen reader does not read it. That is right for a header or footer repeated on every page, and wrong for real content.

Which text was hidden
  • 250 characters of this copy are marked as decoration, so a screen reader skips them, and they appear nowhere else on their own page (“ctional - MissionLayer demonstration)”, “own of Sampleton | City Council | R”, “ctional. Agenda - November 4 | P”) — on pages 1, 2. That is 14 percentage points more of the document than the original hid this way: text that used to be read aloud no longer is. If any of it is real content, do not publish this copy.

If it is real content: Do not publish this copy yet: the text would be lost to screen reader users. Fix it in a PDF editor first.

Still for a person to check

  • The title “City Council Regular Meeting Agenda” was read from the largest type on the first page. Check that it says what the document is, and change it before you publish the copy if it does not.
  • The parts of each page and a reading order were marked in this copy, where the original had none. Nothing automated can say whether each part is marked as the right kind — a heading as a heading, a list as a list — so listen to it with a screen reader, or ask somebody who uses one, before you publish it.
  • 250 characters on pages 1 and 2 are marked as decoration, so a screen reader skips them, and they appear nowhere else on their page. Check that this text is only a header, footer or page number. If any of it is real content, do not publish this copy.
  • Nothing here was checked by a person. Read the copy against the original before republishing it — especially any figure, name or date.

A fictional document, not a customer’s, and the answer GovAccess gave it, as it gave it. Your own files get their own answer, in the same colours.

Paying the invoice

  • Purchasing cardPay the invoice by card on Stripe's page.
  • Bank transfer (ACH)Offered on the same page, for accounts payable.
  • Your PO numberPrinted on the invoice when you type it at Buy.
  • Quote or W-9Ask us before you buy, and we send it.

Pick a pack and we raise an invoice for it. Pay it on a secure invoice page from Stripe, our payment processor, by card or bank transfer. Card: the credits usually arrive within a minute or so. Bank transfer: they arrive when the payment reaches us, which can take several business days — if you need to start today, pay by card. Nothing is charged automatically and nothing renews. Card and bank details are typed on Stripe's page and never reach GovAccess; Stripe may keep them on file for your next payment.

Paying against a purchase order, or need a quote or W-9 first? Put your PO number on the invoice when you press Buy — the credits arrive when it is paid. Ask us for a quote or W-9

Questions buyers ask

Can we pay with a purchasing card?

Yes. Pick a pack and you get an invoice with a secure payment page, where a card — a purchasing card included — or a bank transfer both work. Priced to fit common purchasing-card and small-purchase limits; your own purchasing rules decide.

Can we pay against a purchase order, or get a quote or a W-9 first?

Put your PO number and your accounts-payable address on the invoice when you press Buy. The credits arrive when the invoice is paid. Ask us for a quote or a W-9.

How many credits do we need?

1 credit fixes one page. Add your PDFs on Your PDFs and it counts the pages and shows the credits needed before anything is spent.

What if a PDF cannot be fixed?

It costs nothing. Credits are held when you press Fix and settled when the set finishes, and only the pages actually fixed are charged. The screen says why a file could not be fixed — a protected or signed file, for example.

Who can use the credits?

Everybody signed in to your organization's account. Credits belong to the organization, not to one person, and they never expire.

Does this certify our documents under the ADA?

No automated tool can promise that, and GovAccess does not certify anything. It fixes what software can fix in each PDF and tells you, file by file, what a person should still check before you publish.

Every question governments ask us, answered

Questions about AI and your data?

Can we say no to AI?

Yes. Anyone signed in to your organization's account can turn AI off for the whole organization on the Account page, or ask us and we will do it. You can also choose "Don't use AI on these files" when you send one set of files, and leave AI on for everything else.

With AI off, nothing from your documents or your website is sent to any AI company, and no AI model writes descriptions or other words of its own into your files.

Exactly what is sent to the AI, and when?

For a picture description: that one picture, the document's file name (for a web page version, the document's title instead: the one our layout reader read from it, or the one AI wrote for the version), the picture's caption if it has one, and any words already read inside the picture. Never the rest of the page. A picture found inside a scanned page is sent as that picture alone, with a note that it came from a scan, never the whole page. What comes back is a short description, and whether the picture looks like decoration. In a fixed PDF that is only a suggestion, and a person marks a picture as decoration in the review. In a web page version it is applied: a picture AI calls decoration is given no description there, so check the version before you publish it.

For a web page version AI writes: the document's text, page by page, and its file name. Its pictures go separately, as above, where picture descriptions are on.

For a worked example on a website finding: the public HTML of that one element of your website and the rule it failed. No document content.

Nothing is sent during a website scan, and nothing is sent unless somebody on your account asked for a fix, a conversion or a worked example.

Is our document used to train AI?

Under Anthropic's commercial terms, what we send through its API is not used to train its models. We do not use your documents to train anything either. How long Anthropic keeps what it receives is set by those same commercial terms. With AI turned off, Anthropic receives nothing from your documents at all.
