# DWS Accessibility API

Use DWS Accessibility API to turn existing PDFs into tagged documents that assistive technologies can interpret. Integrate it into remediation workflows when you need to scale accessibility compliance.

## What it does

DWS Accessibility API helps you to:

- Auto-tag PDF content with semantic structure, including headings, paragraphs, lists, and tables.

- Improve reading order for screen readers and other assistive technologies.

- Integrate accessibility remediation into backend document pipelines through HTTP requests.

DWS Accessibility API is part of Nutrient Document Web Services (DWS). It focuses on accessibility remediation workflows, while [DWS Processor API](https://www.nutrient.io/guides/dws-processor.md) covers broader document generation, conversion, and editing actions.
