LIFT Text Transcoder creates a dynamically generated, text-only view of web content and services that is optimized to improve web accessibility and support for people with disabilities and users of assistive technology.
The philosophy behind LIFT Transcoder is that while clients devote finite resources to making web content as accessible as they can as the content is created, LIFT Transcoder immediately - at no impact to client IT or web development resources - creates an accessible (compliant) view of all web content.
LTT supports all content, dynamic and static, and most applications through optimization including Blackboard. It does not support JavaScript.
UK's LIFT Text Transcoder currently works only on the www.uky.edu server. Others may eventually be brought online in the future.
LTT will translate you Web page into a text only page as long CSS alignment and styles are used properly.
You simply place the words "Text Only" somewhere on your page linking it to http://lift.uky.edu/tt/referrer. Then LIFT takes over and converts not only your homepage, but any and all pages after that as long as the viewer remains in the text only mode.
