accessiBe Uses Artificial Intelligence to Achieve Web Accessibility and ADA Compliance

Given the need for compliance and the growing number of digital services that need to have more inclusive access, web accessibility is no longer a trivial or low-priority concern for business websites. According to one Pew Internet Project survey, 54% of adults with disabilities use the internet. However, based on a recent analysis of the top 1 million websites by WebAIM, 98.1 percent of home pages have compliance issues with the Web Accessibility Guidelines 2 (WCAG 2). Also, the study reports that 97.8% of internal pages do not pass WCAG 2 standards. "Significant work remains to be done to make the web accessible to everyone," the study concludes. The most common failures detected were low contrast text, missing alternative text for images, empty links, absence of form input labels, and missing document language. These failures are not difficult to address. The problem is that many website owners fail to pay attention to such issues.
