Recite Me’s Accessibility audit tool is used to assess a wide variety of compliance checks on your website.

WCAG and ADA compliant websites are important for a number of reasons. One of those core reasons is that it ensures organizations do not fall foul to local and international laws, therefore mitigating the chance of potential lawsuits.

Our website accessibility tool checks for four main standards on every scan. These standards make up the fundamentals of the WCAG accessibility guidelines:

• Perceivable
• Operable
• Understandable

Operable refers primarily to usability, our accessibility analyser will highlight any navigation issues on your website. Bringing careful attention to areas such as keyboard navigation, ensuring that all types of users can easily access all aspects of a website and find content. It is also important to ensure the any content that is found does not cause any negative physical reactions such as seizures.

Understandable refers to how readable a websites content is. Accessibility Checking tools will look for descriptive labels, ensure the website behaves in a consistent way and that content is written in a clear manner.

Robust refers to how compatible a website is with a range of assistive tools. The Recite Me accessibility analyser can be used to check your website and see how efficiently assistive technologies can read and interpret the on-page content.
