Many businesses and government agencies have found it difficult to 
comply with the <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = 
"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />ADA's requirement to 
make public documents accessible to persons who are blind or visually 
impaired. Because businesses are unable to anticipate demand for 
specific Braille documents, it can be quite challenging and costly to 
keep a stocked library of them. Braille Works has created a system 
called 'Access on Demand' giving government agencies and large 
businesses an easier way to comply with the ADA's regulations. 
Instead of keeping a stocked library of Braille documents, Access on 
Demand enables organizations to register their public documents with 
Braille Works online in addition to a link or a phone number where 
customers can order the alternative file. After Braille Works 
receives the order and puts the document in the correct format, it 
sends the document directly back to the organization; allowing 
customers to view the document when requested without delay.
