Use of Citrix to provide accessibility?

Somebody told me that a web application that is not accessible
(multiples frames with no explicit names, no alt on images, no explicit
association between labels and form fields etc...) could become
accessible (low level of accessibility though) using Citrix
(http://www.citrix.com/lang/English/ps2/technology/index.asp). While the
whole web application code is modified for accessibility, this solution
could be used as a quick workaround.
I'm rather skeptical... I don't know how this tool could create non
existent alt or could find the relationship between a label and its
field... (etc.)
Do you ever use or hear about this solution? Can it really be a quick
improvement on accessibility side? What do you think about that?
