Give Users the Power of Personalization

Accessibility widgets allow users to modify the visual presentation of a website to their preferences or personal needs. For example, users can use an accessibility widget to change font size or color contrast based on their individual preferences.

Note: AudioEye is not an accessibility widget. AudioEye is an SaaS platform that can be tailored to specific digital accessibility needs to create a more accessible user experience.

No accessibility widget or overlay can make a website fully accessible and compliant with accessibility standards like the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) as there are too many WCAG criteria that cannot be tested by automation alone. 

Worse, many of these widgets or plugins do little to support accessibility for people who use screen readers and other assistive technologies — despite promising to make web accessibility and WCAG compliance easy and straightforward. In reality, many accessibility widgets create a more complex web experience by limiting existing assistive technologies, providing a poor mobile experience, and failing to provide an equal experience for all users.

Not by itself. According to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), organizations have some flexibility in how they comply with ADA’s general requirements of nondiscrimination; however, all organizations must comply with the organization’s inclusivity requirements. 

AudioEye’s Visual Toolkit is designed to complement the other components of our complete accessibility solution, helping you deliver the highest level of accessibility and usability for people with disabilities. However, this does not mean your site fulfills all ADA requirements. The AudioEye Support Team can provide additional recommendations for ADA compliance.

Accessibility widgets and other automated accessibility tools or toolbars can be part of a comprehensive accessibility solution, but you still want to have an automated accessibility solution that can fix issues before they impact website visitors

If you want to be truly accessible and ADA compliant, you should also prioritize an accessibility vendor that offers expert auditing services. At AudioEye, our team of certified accessibility experts can test for WCAG 2.1 and 2.2 criteria that cannot be tested with automation alone.

AudioEye’s Visual Toolkit allows users to easily personalize the visual experience on a website, supporting a wide range of visual disabilities. It includes 13 easy-to-toggle adjustments to personalize the visual experience, including color schemes and contrast, increased font size and line spacing, and highlights, guides, and focus states that make it easier for users to find their place on a page. AudioEye also supports assistive technologies such as screen readers, keyboard navigation, and others, ensuring users relying on these devices have a seamless user experience.

No automated accessibility solution can find or fix every accessibility issue. However, they can test many of the WCAG criteria, the international accessibility standard used by many accessibility laws such as the ADA, AODA, Section 508 of the Rehab Act, and more.
