Hi Michelle,

I am doing an evaluation of tools like Bobby that do web accessibility
testing and repair. This project is funded by ITTATC www.ittatc.org and
should be complete in the end of this month and appear on my and their web
site. The tools to be included are:

1. AccessEnable Standard from RetroAccess (http://www.retroaccess.com).
2. AccRepair from HiSoftware (http://www.hisoftware.com).
3. Bobby Worldwide from CAST (http://www.cast.org/bobby).
4. InFocus from SSB Technologies (http://www.ssbtechnologies.com).
5. LIFT Online from UsableNet (http://www.usablenet.com).
6. PageScreamer Spider from Crunchy Technologies (http://www.crunchy.com).

A preliminary discussion of two of the tools and my assessment of what can
be tested by software is on my site at http://jimthatcher.com/er2.htm.
