GOOD NEWS! The City of Waltham recently implemented a new tool to our website called, ‘DocAccess’. Utilizing AI-powered OCR (Optical Character Recognition), it instantly converts all of our online PDFs into accessible, screen reader-friendly HTML transcripts. Not only does this provide additional ADA-aligned access for those with disabilities, but it also comes with a host of other benefits too - • Easily translates any PDF into over 150 languages • Creates “document outlines” for quick & easy navigation • Embeds metadata & tags throughout documents so you can search and easily find what you’re looking for based on keywords • Allows residents to better “interact” with our PDFs and ask questions to easily find answers that link directly to that section in the document • It can make complex, overwhelming documents much easier to digest and understand • Provides 24/7 disability assistance & support Want to see DocAccess in action? Check out our annual Trash & Recycling Brochure: bit.ly/recycling-tras… (*Note: Full set of features may be temporarily disabled while we're still undergoing the implementation process. Also stay tuned for our 2026 brochure coming soon!) Digital accessibility benefits everyone and we’re excited to see this update go live 🥳
