Ossia: Trattato di Marrakech per facilitare l'accesso alle opere pubblicate per le persone cieche, ipovedenti o con altre disabilità che impediscono l'uso dei testi stampati" Pagina del sito dell'OMPI dal quale il trattato può essere scaricato in inglese, francese, spagnolo, arabo, cinese e russo.

"1 luglio 2013 Antonella De Robbio Soltanto il 5% dei libri pubblicati nel mondo - meno dell'1% nei Paesi in via di sviluppo - è disponibile in formati accessibili per gli oltre 287 milioni di non vedenti e ipovedenti - in termini tecnici, visually impaired persons, persone con danni visivi - che non hanno accesso alla cultura nei supporti a stampa e in video, essendo inabilitate alla lettura per disabilità fisica. A fare fin qui da ostacolo il numero relativamente ristretto dei potenziali fruitori e, soprattutto, i vincoli posti dalle leggi a protezione dei diritti di proprietà intellettuale. Ma la situazione potrebbe cambiare: contro ogni aspettativa, si è concluso positivamente in questi giorni lo storico trattato di Marrakech, in seno alla conferenza diplomatica Ompi (Organizzazione Mondiale per la Proprietà Intellettuale, Wipo) tenutasi dal 17 al 28 giugno 2013. Il lavoro di lobbing dei diretti interessati, appoggiati dalla Chiesa cattolica che si è ufficialmente schierata a favore del trattato, non ha precedenti in termini di efficacia. L'Unione mondiale dei ciechi (Wbu) denunciava il rischio che quattro anni e mezzo di negoziati su un nuovo trattato per le persone cieche o con difficoltà di lettura potessero concludersi con un vuoto accordo "di facciata" o con un nulla di fatto. "Un trattato per i non vedenti o per chi detiene i diritti?" ci si chiedeva anche tra le associazioni bibliotecarie, dopo la sessione informale e la sessione speciale del Comitato permanente per il diritto d'autore e diritti connessi dell'Ompi."

"January 22, 2015 At a time when increasing customer expectations are placing unprecedented pressure on customer service organizations, on-demand consumer services are accelerating expectations for real-time service" However queries from Global Translator Community volunteers are more complex than asking for a Uber taxi to go from X to Y

"Directly's customers are seeing some insane results right out of the gates - response times dropping from days to minutes, satisfaction rates tripling. This isn't good luck. Every growing company has a wealth of expert users and customers - people who know and love your product. The trick is matching users who need help with experts on demand, in a way that's fast, scalable, accountable and that fundamentally works."

"Today we've released new features to address both requests. Now the experts' escalation notes can pass into Zendesk, Desk.com and Salesforce Service Cloud as a private note or comment in the ticket. The help desk agents can see the escalation reason - in addition to the conversation thread - so they can provide customers with more personalized answers."

"...To export data, head to your Activity page and click Create a new report. You'll see a download link in the right sidebar, and you'll receive an email to download as well. The you'll get a raw dump of data in CVS file that includes the following fields: Date Created (Eastern Standard Time) URL Help Desk ID Customer Name Customer Email Customer External ID Subject Number of Answers Customer Rating First Response Time (Eastern Standard Time) Open to Experts Escalated Escalation Type Question Category Languages" Not quite an accessibility issue. But Coursera decided to use Directly for crowdsourcing answers to questions pertaining to the Global Translator Community sent to translate@coursera.org . So this is relevant to anyone who sends such a query.
