There is no such thing as an automated accessibility audit. But, that doesn’t stop a lot of companies from selling automated scans as accessibility audit software, an ADA compliance checker, etc.
Just in time for Q1 of 2025, we created our new accessibility audit software, but we zagged. Hard zag. Our audit software is designed for real, manual accessibility audits.
We call our software (web app, really) Accessibility Tracker and with Tracker, you upload your audit report spreadsheet and from there, your audit is live and dynamic online. Essentially, you have a centralized hub where you can assign team members to specific accessibility issues, have them marked issues as fixed, and then have an auditor validate or confirm the issues have been resolved.
That’s already big time in terms of productivity and time saved. But we’ve packed a lot more features into Accessibility Tracker.
- Prioritize issues by lawsuit risk factor or impact score
- Sort issues by team member (assigned to), status (not started, validated, etc.), and custom priority
- Click on issue to see full breakdown
- Add notes for each issue
- Ask AI questions specific to that issue (AI is already pre-prompted) inside the breakdown
- Comment log with time stamps so any comments or status can be retrieved
- Monthly or bi-weekly progress reports can automatically be emailed to everyone on the project
What’s beautiful is you have focused dedicated to chipping away at an accessibility audit until it’s done. And this has been a pain point for as long as accessibility audits existed: projects start but momentum fades.
If momentum fades for too long, then the audit issues are never fully resolved which means the website, web app, mobile app, or other digital asset never reaches full WCAG conformance and full value from the audit is never reached.
Accessibility Tracker will dramatically help with progress and project completion rate.
And, again, it’s different from most other platforms and software on the market because it’s based on your actual audit results and not scan results. Scans only flag 25% of WCAG 2.1 AA issues and even less WCAG 2.2 AA issues so any software that’s based on scan results can only give an extremely skewed and misleading picture of the state of progress.
If you’d like to learn more about Accessibility Tracker, send us a message and we’ll get you set up with a license before it’s officially released.
