About A11y

A11y is an AI-powered accessibility scanning platform built for instructional designers, learning & development teams, and enterprise organisations that need to keep their digital content WCAG compliant.

Our mission

Every learner deserves equal access to educational content. A11y surfaces WCAG 2.1 violations before they reach learners using assistive technology, turning accessibility compliance from a final check into an ongoing part of the authoring workflow.

WCAG compliance

Every issue is mapped to a WCAG 2.1 success criterion. Reports include the WCAG ID, severity level, learner impact description, and step-by-step remediation guidance, so teams can fix issues without needing to read the specification themselves.

Multi-layer scanning

A11y uses a multi-layer engine combining real browser automation, DOM analysis, colour contrast calculation, OCR-based text extraction, and screen reader simulation to achieve the highest possible detection accuracy, covering interactive elements, triggered layers, hotspots, and canvas-rendered content that single-pass scanners miss.
