What is AccessiBe?
AccessiBe is an AI-powered accessibility tool that helps websites meet legal compliance standards for disabled users, particularly under regulations like the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and WCAG guidelines. It works by scanning your website and automatically applying accessibility fixes, including adjustments for screen readers, keyboard navigation, colour contrast, and text sizing. The tool is designed for businesses of any size that want to avoid legal liability whilst making their digital presence accessible to people with disabilities. Rather than requiring manual code changes, AccessiBe uses artificial intelligence to identify and remediate accessibility issues quickly.
