AI Accessibility Testing Software

Accessible checks your site three ways: automated WCAG 2.2 scanning of every page, a simulated screen-reader user that attempts your real journeys, and monitoring that records the barriers real visitors hit in production, each finding mapped to the WCAG 2.2 criterion it fails.

Automated accessibility scanning

Discovery finds the URLs. axe-core in a real Chromium browser checks each one against WCAG 2.2 — on a schedule, or the moment a deploy ships. Unlimited pages, in every paid plan.

  • Sitemap-aware crawl, with every URL yours to accept or reject
  • Violations, passes, and the incomplete checks a machine could not settle
  • A 0–100 score per page, withheld when a page could not be fully evaluated
  • Scheduled re-scans (every paid plan schedules scans weekly) and single pages on demand; every URL on demand on Professional and Enterprise, and a deploy webhook for CI on Professional and Enterprise
  • Fix guidance with the markup change, in React, Vue, Angular and plain HTML

Rule checking covers the part of WCAG a machine can decide. The rest is what journeys and monitoring are for.

Screen reader journey testing

Name the task. A simulated screen-reader user drives a real browser through it by heading, landmark, role and tab order, records what was announced at every stop, and reports the step it broke on and the steps it never reached.

  • Multi-step flows across page loads, forms, validation and error recovery
  • The transcript — what was announced — not just the DOM
  • Journeys proposed by discovery, or written step by step
  • Steps after the break marked not evaluated, never passed

The one thing that draws on credits. Every run shows its cost before you start it, and your first plan opens with a trial balance.

Real user monitoring

A small script on your site records the barriers real visitors meet — on the routes they actually take, in states a crawl never reaches — and ranks each one by how many sessions hit it.

  • Ranked by share of sessions, with a confidence interval, not by rule severity alone
  • Focus traps, focus lost after route changes, and invisible focus, caught in real sessions
  • Keyboard-driven sessions counted separately
  • Route patterns only — no page content, no visitor data

Free on every plan, including Monitor, which is monitoring alone with no card and no expiry.

Findings leave the product

The end of the workflow is an export for your own tracker or a report on someone's desk, not another dashboard to visit.

  • Triage

    Filter and bulk-action findings by severity, status and criterion across every domain.

  • Exports and reports

    CSV export, an activity report, a draft VPAT/ACR and a public posture page.

WCAG 2.2, the ADA, Section 508 and the EAA

Accessible tests against WCAG 2.2, which builds on the 2.0 and 2.1 versions most rules still name. The table shows which version each rule points at — not a promise that testing makes you compliant with it. No automated tool can, and the WCAG 2.2 guide explains why.

Frequently asked questions

What is AI accessibility testing software?

Software that uses automation and AI models to find accessibility barriers on a website. In Accessible that means three things: axe-core rule checks on every page, a simulated screen-reader user that attempts real tasks and reports where it got stuck, and a script that records the barriers real visitors hit. The AI part is the journey — deciding what to press next and judging what was announced — while rule checks stay deterministic.

Will automated testing make my site ADA or EAA compliant?

No tool can do that, including this one. Legal compliance depends on which rule applies to you and on things no automated test measures. What Accessible gives you is a dated record of what was tested, what was found and what was fixed — evidence of the work, not a certificate.

Which standard does Accessible test against?

WCAG 2.2, Level AA by default. Scans can also include Level AAA rules, and every finding is mapped to the success criterion it fails and given a severity, so it reads as user impact rather than a rule ID.

Do I need scanning, journeys and monitoring?

They answer different questions. A scan says which rules each page breaks; a journey says whether a screen-reader user can finish a task and where they could not; monitoring says which barriers real visitors actually met, and how often. A site can pass the first and fail the other two.

What is the AI Overview?

A briefing written for your organization from your own scans, journeys and monitoring: what changed, and what to fix first, ranked by how many real visitors it reaches. Every number in it comes from your results, never from the model. It is included on every paid plan.

How is it priced?

Per domain. Monitoring is free, including on the no-card Monitor plan. Scanning is unmetered on every paid plan. Journey runs draw on monthly credits, every run shows its cost before it starts, and unused credits roll over.
