Hey blind people, what is the recommended accessible format for distributing text-only content? So that a short text of a couple hundred words is browsable, searchable and the structure is understandable?
Am I correct is assuming that a well-structured PDF with all the titles set correctly would do the trick? Or is there some secret file format that is much better suited?
The document is intended to be distributed as downloadable file, not as a website.
(Sighted people feel free to boost but for the love of everything please do not try to answer)
