Inaccessibility of Digital Content
Many organizations struggle to ensure their documents, spreadsheets, and presentations are accessible to individuals with disabilities. Grackle Workspace identifies and resolves these issues directly within Google Workspace.
Complexity of Accessibility Standards
Standards like WCAG, PDF/UA, and Section 508 can be difficult to navigate. Grackle Workspace simplifies compliance by automating checks and providing actionable recommendations.
Inefficiency in Manual Remediation
Manual testing alone and remediation of accessibility issues can be time-consuming and error-prone. Grackle automates much of this process, reducing effort and improving accuracy.
Difficulty in Exporting Accessible Content
Exporting documents to accessible formats such as tagged PDFs or Accessible HTML is often a challenge. Grackle Workspace streamlines this process, ensuring outputs are compliant and user-friendly.
Lack of Awareness or Expertise
Many teams lack the expertise to address accessibility issues effectively. Grackle Workspace integrates easy-to-use tools and wizards, empowering non-specialists to create accessible content.
Risk of Non-Compliance
Non-compliance with accessibility regulations can lead to legal risks and reputational damage. Grackle Workspace helps organizations proactively address these risks by ensuring their content meets global standards.
Workflow Disruption
Switching between multiple tools to address accessibility issues can disrupt workflows. Grackle Workspace operates seamlessly within Google Workspace, eliminating the need for external tools or complex processes.
Inconsistent Document Accessibility
Ensuring consistent accessibility across various document types can be challenging. Grackle Workspace provides tailored checks and fixes for Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides, ensuring uniform compliance.

A small sample of what our happy customers have to say about GrackleDocs
Columbus State University
Dear Grackle Team, we are so grateful for your reaching out to share the Grackle product suite. At Columbus State University, we frequently recommend GrackleDocs to faculty members preparing their course content for online courses.
Its design makes addressing accessibility issues clear and straightforward. When an issue is found, the interface provides a link to its location and methods for addressing it. Then you simply do a recheck. It’s so easy to use! We are looking forward to trying it out with all Google products. Thanks again!
Collaborative.org
Grackle is an amazing suite that solved a big technical gap with our own organization and our member school districts who all use Google Workspace for document management.
As we began offering website accessibility services, we realized there wasn’t a good solution to suggest to our customers on how to manage accessibility within Google documents.
Having to download, convert, and scan through other tools was too cumbersome–until we found Grackle. Despite the pandemic shutdowns, we continue to promote Grackle during our large district tech and superintendent meetings as well as meetings with other collaboratives like ours.
Barbers Hill ISD
As our K-12 District Webmaster, I am responsible for performing accessibility compliance remediation on many non-compliant PDFs.
I desperately needed a user-friendly solution to enable staff to help. Grackle Suite exceeded my expectations. With complex documents, it not only identified errors, but it took me directly to them and showed me how to correct them!
I was impressed, but I wanted further proof that Grackle would be user-friendly for staff who are not compliance-savvy. I asked a co-worker to try it, and within an hour she emailed me saying, “I’m in love!” There was no turning back. We had to have Grackle!
