The project I work on has used Digital Echo frequently over the past year to make our PDFs accessible. They do a great job for a very fair price and have a quick turnaround time. What I like most about them, though, is their excellent communication. They always get back to me quickly, keep me apprised of their schedule for current jobs, and explain things clearly. I feel very lucky to have found this company. They've made it so easy for us to make our documents accessible.

I've worked with Digital Echo on 508 compliance for large environmental compliance documents a few times and will continue to use them in the future. They've consistently met tight turnaround times, been incredibly responsive, and their costs are very reasonable. We've tried to do this work in-house before but Digital Echo is so quick and cost effective that I don't think we'll ever go back.
