Automatic tests and AI content analysis
AccessRadar combines automatic tests with AI content analysis. You see not only technical errors, but also which texts truly help your visitors.
The AI analysis reads the text of your pages and gives suggestions, for example for:
- Alternative text: does the text say something meaningful, or is it 'image', a file name or 'click here'?
- Link text: do the link text and the text around it make clear where a link leads?
- Headings and labels: do they describe the topic or the field, or are they empty words such as 'Info' or 'Field 1'?
- Page titles and forms: is it clear what a page is about and what a field expects?
You get concrete suggestions for better texts, which you pick up directly in your weekly improvement plan. This way your website moves closer to WCAG 2.2 AA suitability every week and reaches more customers.
