An honest AudioEye alternative

AudioEye combines an overlay toolbar with automated fixes and a managed remediation service. The toolbar part is the same category of widget as accessiBe and UserWay: it sits on top of your site at runtime and cannot reliably correct the underlying HTML and CSS.

The accessibility community is broadly sceptical of overlay automation. The Overlay Fact Sheet, signed by hundreds of practitioners, recommends against relying on it, and overlay-using sites have appeared in a growing share of accessibility lawsuits rather than avoiding them. Automated remediation can help at the margins, but it does not replace fixing the source.

This is not an overlay and changes nothing on your site. It loads your page in a real browser, runs axe-core against WCAG 2.2 A and AA, and shows every failing element with its success criterion and conformance level. The report is a shareable link, no email gate, and it states plainly what automated testing can and cannot verify.

That makes it a useful baseline whether or not you use a managed service: you can see exactly where you stand, and check any vendor's "we fixed it" claims against an independent scan.

Durable accessibility lives in your code: real alt text, labelled form fields, sufficient colour contrast, proper headings. Use a scan to find the issues, fix them in the markup, and re-scan to confirm. The same engine runs as a browser extension, a CLI and GitHub Action for CI, and an MCP server, so you catch regressions yourself instead of paying for an ongoing patch.
