Marker's WCAG output passes veraPDF PDF/UA-1 checks 91/91, slashing manual remediation
VikParuchuri · x · 2026-09-09
Vik Paruchuri of the Marker team showcased a new capability: pass outputshape=wcag to the document processing API (or use it in the playground) to generate WCAG-compliant accessible documents directly.
Key points:
- The pitch is "human review, not human remediation": every output passes automated conformance checks, while Marker's own stricter audit flags spots needing human review.
- The team explicitly does not claim 100% compliance.
- All outputs pass the automated conformance check: veraPDF PDF/UA-1, 91 of 91.
