🤖 AI-Powered Remediation: Smarter WCAG Compliance

Our tool now includes AI technology that helps simplify the remediation process.

Updated over a week ago

Web accessibility requires both accurate detection and thoughtful remediation, and we’ve designed our WCAG compliance solution with exactly this in mind.

While our automated testing platform helps you find issues on your site, our AI technology can:

  • Suggest intelligent, context-aware fixes

  • Apply safe enhancements where appropriate

  • Preserve your existing layout and design

By combining both automation and AI, we’re able to bring you an all-in-one web accessibility solution that helps simplify the remediation process.

Activating AI Remediation

When adding your domain to your dashboard, you will be given the option to activate AI remediation during the setup. However, you can also do this at a later stage if need be.

Connecting your website to AccessibilityChecker.org's Al-powered remediation engine will require you to add a single JS snippet before the closing </head> tag on every page where you want accessibility fixes to be applied.

Once you confirm the connection, AI remediation suggestions will appear on your dashboard.

Where to View Suggested AI-Remediation Fixes

Not all issues can be automatically resolved using AI, but those that can, will be highlighted under the Issues > Static Pages tab.

Once you click on AI Fix Available, you will be redirected to an Issue overview page where you will have the option to Fix with AI.

____________________________________________________________________

Approving Your AI Fixes

Once you confirm you want to fix a particular issue with the help of AI, a pop-up will appear that will allow you to approve all of the suggested fixes before they are automatically applied to your website.

What Issues Can You Fix Using AI?

Making Interactive Elements Understandable to Screen Readers

One of the most common accessibility issues is missing or unclear accessible names. Our AI helps by:

If a link or button has no accessible name, uses vague text like “Click here”, or is only an icon, AI can generate a short, descriptive aria-label.

An ARIA label is an HTML attribute that’s used to provide a clear, descriptive name for an element, particularly when there’s no visible text label. It helps screen readers explain the purpose of buttons, links, or other interactive elements to users with visual impairments.

Images that lack meaningful alternative text create barriers for users who rely on screen readers. Without a proper alt attribute, assistive technologies may either skip the image entirely or announce unhelpful file names such as “IMG_1234.jpg.”

Our AI-powered remediation feature automatically detects images that are missing alt text and generates concise, descriptive alternatives based on the image filename, nearby text, and surrounding context.

If inputs, dropdowns, or selects don’t have proper labels, AI can:

  • Generate a descriptive label using nearby context

  • Apply it using aria-label or an accessible <label> element

  • Convert placeholder or title text into a proper accessible label

Improving Page Structure and Landmarks

Proper structure helps assistive technologies navigate a page efficiently, something our AI can also assist with.

AI can detect the most appropriate landmark (e.g., main, navigation, contentinfo) and propose adding the correct role via JavaScript.

AI can:

  • Detect the primary language of the page

  • Set or correct the lang attribute on <html>

  • Normalize malformed language tags to valid standards

Fixing ARIA Errors Safely and Accurately

Incorrect ARIA usage can cause more harm than good. Our AI helps by:

AI can be used to correct misspelled ARIA attribute names and normalize invalid attribute values to spec-compliant versions.

If a role is not allowed on an element, AI recommends a corrected role or removal and only applies changes after explicit confirmation.

Enhancing Embedded Content

Embedded elements like videos and maps must be properly described, which can be done more easily with the help of our AI.

AI can analyze the iframe src and surrounding context and generate a meaningful title attribute.

Supporting Mobile Accessibility

Mobile accessibility is a strict requirement under WCAG 2.1 and 2.2, which is why it’s an integral part of our platform.

Our AI can be used to:

  • Detect missing or invalid viewport tags

  • Propose a standards-compliant, mobile-friendly viewport configuration

  • Apply safe updates or provide an approved configuration patch

The Power of AI for Remediation

Because our AI technology is capable of generating context-aware remediation suggestions, it results in faster compliance workflows, fewer manual corrections, and improved accessibility, without disrupting your design or content.

AI doesn’t replace accessibility expertise. It accelerates it.
