The Authoring Tool Built for Complex, Accessible Training
Lectora Inspire — now part of the ELB Learning suite — has been a trusted choice for enterprise training teams since 1999. It stands apart from tools like Articulate Storyline because of its granular control over course logic, its native WCAG/Section 508 accessibility support, and its XLIFF-based translation workflow — all essential for regulated industries and global organisations.
At IKHYA, we use Lectora's full capabilities: custom variables, conditional branching, question pools, multi-SCORM publishing, and responsive HTML5 output. The result is training that works on every device, meets every compliance standard, and integrates cleanly with any LMS.
"Lectora gives us the control to build courses that are genuinely accessible, deeply trackable, and globally deployable — things that matter enormously to our enterprise clients."View All eLearning Services

Why Lectora Is the #1 Choice for Accessible eLearning
If your organisation needs to meet Section 508, WCAG 2.1 AA, or ADA requirements, Lectora is the most reliable authoring tool available. Unlike competitors, Lectora builds accessibility controls directly into the course structure — not as an afterthought.
IKHYA's accessibility specialists ensure every published module passes JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver testing before delivery. We serve government agencies, healthcare providers, financial institutions, and any organisation where accessibility is non-negotiable.
Tab Order & Focus Management
Precise control over reading and tab order so screen-reader users navigate content in the correct logical sequence.
ALT Text & Image Descriptions
Every image, icon, and decorative element correctly labelled or marked as presentational for assistive technologies.
Closed Captions & Transcripts
All audio and video content captioned to WCAG 1.2 standards — automatically synced in Lectora's timeline editor.
Full Keyboard Accessibility
No interaction requires a mouse. All buttons, questions, and navigation are fully keyboard-operable.
Colour Contrast & Visual Design
Minimum 4.5:1 contrast ratios on all text, with colour never used as the sole means of conveying information.
Accessibility Audit Report
Every project includes a signed accessibility compliance report — ready for submission to your legal or procurement team.

What Makes IKHYA Different as a Lectora Partner
There are dozens of eLearning vendors who claim Lectora expertise. Here is what actually separates IKHYA from the rest.
Dedicated Lectora Specialists
Our developers don't switch between tools on a project-by-project basis. We have a dedicated Lectora team that lives and breathes the platform — including its quirks, version differences, and LMS edge cases.
Accessibility-First Approach
Every project starts with an accessibility brief. We don't retrofit accessibility at the end — it's built into our design templates, interaction patterns, and QA checklists from day one.
Instructional Design Depth
Our IDs hold certifications in instructional design and adult learning theory. We challenge weak learning objectives, recommend better interaction types, and push back when content doesn't serve the learner.
Global Reach, Local Insight
We've deployed Lectora courses in 40+ languages across 30+ countries. Our XLIFF workflow, in-country reviewers, and RTL experience mean your global rollout stays on schedule.
Transparent Project Management
Shared project dashboards, weekly status calls, and review links via Review 360 or our own staging environment. You always see exactly where your project is — no chasing, no surprises.
Fast, Predictable Delivery
Our sprint-based delivery model means you get working modules to review every 2–3 weeks — not a big reveal at the end of a 12-week build. Faster feedback loops, faster final delivery.
What Our Lectora Clients Say
Real outcomes from real organisations who trusted IKHYA with their Lectora development projects.
508 Pass Rate
A US federal agency's 14-module compliance programme passed formal Section 508 review on the first submission.
Faster Translation
An FMCG client reduced translation turnaround from 6 weeks to 2 weeks using our XLIFF-based multilingual workflow.
Lower Dev Cost
By migrating from a custom HTML5 build to Lectora, a financial services firm cut ongoing course maintenance costs by 40%.
Completion Rate
A healthcare provider's mandatory compliance module — built with scenario-based branching — achieved a 92% voluntary completion rate.
Frequently Asked Questions About Lectora Development
Honest answers to the questions we get asked most before clients decide to work with us.
Lectora eLearning development is the process of building online training modules using the Lectora Inspire or Lectora Online authoring platform. It is best suited for organisations that need strict Section 508 or WCAG accessibility compliance, complex branching and variable-driven learning logic, multilingual XLIFF-based deployment, or deep SCORM/xAPI tracking for regulated industries such as government, healthcare, financial services, and defence.
A standard 20–30 minute Lectora module typically takes 4–8 weeks from project kick-off to final handover, depending on interactivity level, media production requirements, number of review rounds, and whether translation is needed. We provide a detailed project timeline at the scoping stage — usually within 48 hours of your initial brief.
Choose Lectora when accessibility compliance is a hard requirement, when you need granular control over variables and branching logic, when multilingual XLIFF-based deployment is planned, or when your LMS uses AICC or older standards. Storyline is excellent for visual storytelling and simpler interactive courses, but Lectora offers deeper customisation and superior accessibility tooling for enterprise and government projects. Not sure which is right for you? Read our full comparison here.
Lectora publishes to SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004 (all editions), xAPI (Tin Can), AICC, cmi5, and plain HTML5. This makes it compatible with virtually every LMS on the market — including Cornerstone, SAP SuccessFactors, Moodle, Docebo, Totara, and custom LMS platforms. We test every published package in your LMS environment before final handover.
Yes — every Lectora project IKHYA delivers passes a structured accessibility audit that checks tab order, ALT text, colour contrast, keyboard navigation, closed captions, and screen-reader output using JAWS and NVDA. We provide a signed accessibility compliance report with each project, suitable for submission to legal, procurement, or audit teams. Our Section 508 pass rate across all delivered projects is 100%.
Yes. Our team works across both Lectora Inspire (the desktop Windows application) and Lectora Online (the cloud-based version now part of the ELB Learning suite). We can also migrate courses between the two formats if your team is transitioning from desktop to cloud-based authoring.
Absolutely. Converting instructor-led training (ILT), PowerPoint presentations, PDF manuals, or legacy Flash/HTML courses into modern Lectora eLearning is one of our most requested services. We handle the full process: content re-structuring, visual redesign, interaction development, and accessibility audit. Learn more about our conversion services.
Lectora supports multilingual development through XLIFF import/export, which is the industry standard for translation memory and CAT tool workflows. This means your translators can work in familiar translation tools — not inside Lectora itself — which reduces translation cost, improves consistency, and dramatically speeds up multilingual rollouts. IKHYA has delivered Lectora courses in over 40 languages, including RTL languages such as Arabic and Hebrew.
To prepare a scoped proposal, we typically need: your source content (Word docs, PPT, existing course files, or a content outline), your learning objectives, your target LMS and preferred publishing standard (SCORM, xAPI, etc.), any brand guidelines or visual style guides, and any accessibility requirements. The more context you can share, the more accurate our timeline and cost estimate will be. You can start with just an outline — we'll help you develop the rest.
Lectora development costs depend on course length, interactivity level, media production needs, accessibility requirements, and number of languages. A standard 20-minute module typically ranges from $4,000 to $12,000 USD. Highly interactive modules with custom branching simulations or full accessibility audits sit at the higher end. IKHYA provides itemised, fixed-price proposals — no hourly billing surprises. See our full Lectora pricing guide.
