Robinson Records & Accessibility
Document remediation · Captioning · Accessibility audits — Kellogg, Iowa

Your public documents, made accessible — before the federal deadline makes it urgent.

I help Iowa cities, counties, libraries, and schools meet the ADA Title II accessibility requirements for websites and public documents: remediated PDFs, captioned meetings, and plain-language audit reports your clerk can act on and file.

The clock: federal rules require WCAG 2.1 AA compliance by April 26, 2027 for communities serving 50,000+ people, and April 26, 2028 for smaller communities. The work is much cheaper started early.

Services

PDF & document remediation

Agendas, minutes, forms, ordinances, and reports rebuilt with proper structure, reading order, and alt text — then validated with the same checkers (PAC, veraPDF) your auditors use.

Priced per page by complexity; batch rates for document backlogs.

Meeting captioning & transcripts

Council and board recordings captioned to a 99%+ accuracy standard — names, motions, and votes verified by hand, not just machine output. Caption files plus a clean, speaker-labelled transcript.

Per finished minute, or a flat monthly retainer for regular meetings.

Website accessibility audits

Automated scanning plus manual keyboard and screen-reader testing. You receive a report that maps every finding to the WCAG rule it breaks, ranked by severity, with fix guidance your web person can follow.

Flat fee by site size; retest included.

Records & research services

Historical records transcription and indexing, and forensic genealogy research for attorneys and families — including African American and enslaved-ancestor research, done to the Genealogical Proof Standard.

Quoted per project.

How it works

  1. Free findings scan. I review your public website and posted documents and send a short letter: what fails, how badly, and a fixed-price quote. No obligation.
  2. Fixed quote, small paperwork. Most first projects are priced under local small-purchase thresholds — a signed quote and a W-9, and we start.
  3. Delivery you can file. Every project closes with the finished work, the validation reports, and a one-page conformance statement for your records.

About

Robinson Records & Accessibility is an Iowa sole proprietorship owned and operated by Brandon Robinson of Kellogg, Jasper County. Brandon's background is historical-records research — years of work reading, transcribing, and verifying nineteenth-century documents, including training machine handwriting-recognition models on probate records. Accessibility work is the same discipline pointed at a modern problem: documents that every resident can actually use, verified line by line rather than assumed.

The practice is intentionally small: the owner reviews every deliverable, and no work is outsourced overseas.
