SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT
The Overlay Fact Sheet Has a Point. Just Not About AudioEye.
It presents itself as neutral guidance, but paints every automated solution with a broad brush, at the expense of accuracy.
WHAT IT GETS RIGHT
One-click compliance is a false promise. No automated tool can make a site fully accessible on its own.
The FTC reached a $1 million settlement with accessiBe for false claims, and a class action lawsuit has been filed against UserWay for similar promises.
Some widgets actively interfere with assistive technology, making sites harder to use for the people they claim to help.
WHAT IT GETS WRONG
Not every vendor listed has promised full accessibility through automation alone. AudioEye claims to find up to 2/3 of issues.
Its creator and most signatories are competitors who sell audits/consulting, which gives them a commercial incentive to conclude that automation doesn't work.
The criticism it documents is almost entirely about two vendors. Applying it to every automated tool overstates the evidence.
AudioEye has never faced any FTC action or class action lawsuits for false compliance.
