Frequently Asked Questions
1
How is AudioEye different from the competition?
Some competitors are nothing more than a cheap toolbar. And reality is, while a toolbar can enable some users to personalize the look of your site (contrast, font, animation), it does little to nothing for a visitor relying on an assistive technology such as a screen reader. There are the automation-only solutions that claim 100% compliance, but did you know automation can only find and fix about 30-35% of your WCAG errors. Then there are the high-priced consultants who will charge you to tell you your WCAG violations but not fix them. AudioEye combines powerful technology with manual testing and engineering. We either equip you to fix the remainder of your errors, or you outsource your compliance to our team of industry experts. We're always on, so you're never out of compliance. Oh, and we also give you a toolbar.

What is Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) compliance?
As defined by the Guidelines, to achieve WCAC compliance, digital content must be perceivable, operable, understandable and robust in order to be accessible to all users.
- Perceivable content means that all users must be able to perceive and understand all digital content and information featured on a website.
- Operable content means that all users must be able to easily navigate information throughout the website.
- Understandable means that all users should be able to follow, read and digest digital information displayed on a website.
- Robust means digital content should be compatible with assistive technologies and should evolve with assistive technologies.

What laws specifically address digital accessibility?
While there are laws that specifically mention - and require - accessible digital content, some legislation is dependent upon the Court's interpretation. For example, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) does not specifically mention digital compliance, but Title III of the ADA does require that a "place of public accommodation" is accessible. Today, Courts are interpreting a place of public accommodation includes the Internet and are therefore ruling in favor of digital accessibility.

Am I required by law to make my website accessible?
The answer varies by industry. Many organizations are required by law to make their digital content accessible. For others, Courts are overwhelmingly ruling in favor of accessibility. So, while the rule of law can be confusing, there's no question an accessible site reduces legal risk and opens a business to a larger consumer base.
