Subject: Most accessible WCAG compliance tester for a blind person
No previous message | Next message →

Greetings, yea wise ones.

Various tools have come up in various discussions, but I believe I
have never seen an actual thread on what is the most accessible WCAG
or other accessibility testing tool out there for web sites.
Any recommendation would be most apprecited, be it an online service
or a plug in, free or for profit.
I have found several accessibility testing suites to be far from
accessible, which is a bit ironic if one thinks about it.
I won't name any names, since it's been a few months since I last tested them.
But I would like to settle on some accessible and easy to use software
to quickly evaluate WCAG compliance (of course this is supplemented
with my own screen reader testing and commentary).
Thanks and be well
-Birkir

Hello:

The one I intend to learn and use is Fireeyes, in conjunction with
Firefox and the Firebug plugin.

And if I have accessibility issues, I hope that we'll be able to work
together to resolve them. See:

I also plan to take a close look at WAVE from WebAIM.

I'm confident that having as many tools as possible in my toolkit
will prove valuable.

Jennifer

SiteSifter is a highly accessible tool. It's online and available on a subscription basis. Terrific customer support is also worth mentioning.
