Becoming Accessible with Acessibe

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are able to offer clients the ability to offer accessible solutions online to their businesses. This service is ideal for everyone as the end-user has the power to decide how they would like the tool to display the online site with the totally customizable selections for each feature offered. The tool allows for people with additional accessible tools to integrate with the dashboard or allow people to only use the user options without additional software or hardware devices attached. We love that it enables the user to make their interaction personal to themselves.

Pros

  • Text and image resizing.
  • Ability to search additional meanings from the web that might be be found on the site. For example the meaning of a word or jargon.
  • The settings chosen by the user are retained on the local device so they do not have to reconfigure the user interface when they return to a website.
  • The features for ADHD with focused highlighting.

Cons

  • Adding a font changer especially for people with Dyslexia.
  • ability to gather Closed Captions or Read video transcripts.
  • ability to control videos from the user interface, some embedded videos do not have the option to pause or rewind video.
  • When viewing video not to be taken away from the site or offer alternatives that are not relevant to the site. Website owners often use embedded videos from YouTube which then offers other videos that are not related. AccessiBe should be able to play the embed link in a separate iframe which can auto-close once the video is over.

  • Constantly looking to improve and add new features.
  • Great resource and awareness of what is current in the market place.

<b>What I like.

<b>What I don't like.

</b>Quite honestly, there is really nothing I can say that I dislike. The solution is very straightforward and simple to use. Everything is fully automated. Their support is really helpful and the documentation is concise but clear.

<b>My recommendation to others considering the product.

</b>Reach out to their support or sales staff. They will be able to help you to better understand their offering.

<b>What problems will it help you solve and the benefits you will get.</b>

Before using accessiBe we would run manual ADA accessibility audits on regular basis and mitigate any issues we found by manually adjusting the website code. After integrating the accessWidget, we just run the audit once, make all major adjustments and then let accessiBe take care of the rest.

Pros

  • Uses AI to make the content and structure of a website ADA compliant.
  • Very simple and straightforward to integrate (just drop in a JS widget).
  • Excellent UI for the disabled to adjust the website look and feel on the fly.

Cons

  • Honestly can't think of anything!

Most Important Features

  • Fully automated ADA compliance features in a website.
  • Regular and automatic monthly ADA audits run on a website.
  • Litigation support provided by the company should you receive a demand letter.

Return on Investment

  • Peace of mind - the website is now fully ADA compliant.
  • Very reasonable cost for the features provided.

Review of accessiBe

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use accessiBe as a tool to make my website more accessible. accessiBe is incredible because it provides an automated solution to making websites more accessible to users with disabilities. As a blind person myself, I'm impressed that there's a solution that can be implemented to make websites more accessible for a low cost to the business or website owner. From my experience, accessiBe does a great job at making websites accessible. It's what we call an overlay that automates alt-text etc. We also build websites for companies and we re-sell accessiBe to our clients who also have found it very useful. One aspect of accessiBe that I find impressive is if one user finds a bug, the bug can be fixed and assist several hundred thousand users. The program provides a turn-key solution for accessibility which I've been quite impressed with.

Pros

  • Automate alt text image descriptions. Makes websites more accessible to people with visual disabilities. Makes websites more accessible to people with other physical disabilities. Enhances SEO possibilities for websites by implementing alt text for all images. Very user-friendly and plug-and-play for website admins.

Cons

  • accessiBe is known as an overlay software to enhance the accessibility of websites. While it is a great solution, websites that have been coded specifically to make that site more accessible tend to be even more accessible than the accessiBe result. The issue with this is that in order to hard code a website to be accessible, the cost to the website owner is thousands of dollars initially, and then a high monthly retainer fee to maintain accessibility. accessiBe over time should work to become as good as a hard-coded solution.

Most Important Features

  • It is a turnkey solution to affordable website accessibility. Not only does it make websites accessible, but it also helps enhance SEO opportunities by writing alt text descriptions. Alternatively, it prompts website admins to write their own, perhaps more accurate alt text. Finally, it provides its customers comfort that they are compliant with the WCAG accessibility guidelines defined for websites.

Return on Investment

  • accessiBe allows us to build accessible websites for our customers. It has been extremely useful for them, and they all rave about it.
