Long Description

What AudioEye Provides

AudioEye delivers a comprehensive approach to digital accessibility that combines technology and expert services in a single platform. Unlike consulting-only or automation-only models, AudioEye’s approach is designed for continuous protection at scale.

Issue Detection

• Automated accessibility testing that detects up to 2.5x more issues than competing tools, validated in independent research by Adience (January 2026).

• Detection across 37 of 55 WCAG A and AA success criteria through automation.

• Expert testing by certified accessibility professionals and people with disabilities for the criteria that automation alone cannot fully assess.

• Continuous monitoring that catches new issues as websites change, rather than periodic audits that create compliance gaps between reviews.

Fixing Issues

• Automated fixes that resolve approximately 50% of detected issues in real time, without requiring developer involvement.

• Expert-written custom code fixes for the remaining issues that automation cannot solve, including high-risk barriers.

• Source feedback reports with clear guidance for issues that require changes to the underlying source code.

• Approximately 97% of issues resolved through automation and custom fixes before a customer’s development team needs to get involved, saving thousands of hours. 

Legal Protection

• AudioEye Assurance: the industry’s only real money-back legal guarantee for each covered web page.

• Expert claim analysis when customers receive demand letters on covered pages.

• Custom legal responses and debunk reports for frivolous claims.

• Document courtroom success: AudioEye is the only accessibility provider that has taken a customer’s case to court and had the claim dismissed with no settlement or other relief (Babylon Marine).

• 300% more protection from valid legal claims than consulting solutions and 400% more than automation-only tools, based on analysis of more than 1,500 legal claims.

• The lowest valid legal claim rate in the industry.

Reporting and Enablement

• A single dashboard showing every scan, every expert fix, and every custom solution.

• Accessibility certification and conformance documentation.

• Enablement resources for development, product, and content teams.

AudioEye’s approach is designed to support long-term accessibility programs rather than one-time fixes. The platform’s AI-driven detection improves continuously, informed by millions of data points from custom fixes across hundreds of thousands of sites.

Standards and Compliance Supported

AudioEye solutions align with internationally recognized accessibility regulations, including:

• Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 and 2.2, Levels A and AA

• Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)

• Section 508

• European Accessibility Act (EAA)

• EN 301 549

• Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA)

AudioEye is the only solution that covers all 55 WCAG A and AA success criteria through its combination of automated detection and expert-written custom fixes.

Independent Validation

In January 2026, Adience, an independent research firm, published a comparative assessment of five leading automated accessibility tools tested under identical conditions. AudioEye demonstrated the broadest detection coverage across all WCAG levels and all tested websites, detecting 89-253% more issues than competing tools.

AudioEye's legal protection claims are based on analysis of more than 1,500 independent legal claims. AudioEye maintains the lowest valid legal claim rate in the industry and is the only accessibility provider with a documented dismissal in court.

Data Handling and Privacy

AudioEye is designed to meet the data handling expectations of enterprise and regulated organizations. The platform processes only the data necessary to perform accessibility analysis, monitoring, and fixes.

What AudioEye Scans and Processes

AudioEye's automated scans analyze the structure, code, and content of web pages to identify accessibility issues. These scans focus on technical accessibility barriers, such as missing alternative text, incorrect heading structure, color contrast failures, and keyboard navigation issues. Automated scans do not collect, store, or process personal user data from site visitors.

How AudioEye Handles Data

• AudioEye accesses publicly available page content to perform accessibility testing and apply fixes. This is the same content any site visitor would see.

• Custom fixes are delivered via AudioEye’s JavaScript that runs in live code.

• Expert audits involve certified accessibility professionals reviewing page content and functionality. Auditors work with the same publicly visible content that end users encounter.

• Platform reporting and dashboards display accessibility findings, fix status, and compliance documentation. This data is scoped to the customer's own digital properties.

Privacy and Compliance Alignment

AudioEye's services are designed to align with applicable data protection and privacy requirements. The platform's architecture minimizes data collection by design: accessibility scanning and fixes do not require access to user accounts, personal information, or protected health information.

For organizations subject to the European Accessibility Act (EAA), AudioEye supports compliance with EU accessibility requirements and is designed to operate within applicable data protection frameworks.

Why Digital Accessibility Matters

Over 1.3 billion people globally live with a disability(opens in a new tab), representing $18 trillion in spending power(opens in a new tab). 7 out of 10 customers with disabilities(opens in a new tab) will leave a website if it is inaccessible and difficult to use, and 83% of people with disabilities(opens in a new tab) limit their shopping to sites they know are accessible.

Digital accessibility compliance is a legal requirement across multiple jurisdictions. The ADA applies to digital experiences, and U.S. courts have consistently ruled that websites are "places of public accommodation." The EAA took effect in 2025, requiring digital accessibility for any business serving EU customers, regardless of where the company is located.

The Legal Landscape

Accessibility lawsuits are accelerating. Nearly 8 in 10 accessibility lawsuits now happen at the state level, where penalties accumulate quickly. 78% of accessibility lawsuits target eCommerce(opens in a new tab), putting any revenue-driving digital experience at risk. 38% of companies that received accessibility lawsuits already had an accessibility widget in place, showing that automation-only solutions do not provide adequate protection.

Nearly 6 in 10 business leaders believe their organization would fail an accessibility audit today, and more than half have already faced lawsuits or threats. According to AudioEye's Digital Accessibility Index, the average web page still has 297 accessibility issues, even among companies actively investing in accessibility.

The cost of inaction is significant. Accessibility lawsuit settlements(opens in a new tab) typically range from $15,000 for a small business to $75,000 for a large company, with additional legal fees of $10,000 to $30,000 and management distraction costs of $10,000 to $40,000. Class action lawsuits can reach millions of dollars. AudioEye's combination of AI-powered automation, expert custom fixes, and the industry's only real legal guarantee helps organizations avoid these costs while achieving approximately 97% issue resolution.
