Digital accessibility means more than running automated scans.

AI tools and automated checkers are essential, but real user barriers often go undetected. Our latest post reveals 5 critical accessibility gaps only screen reader users can spot. These include:

- Inaccurate Alt Text
- Illogical Reading Order
- Invisible Content read by Screen Reader Users
- Form Instructions not Associated with Form Fields
- Dynamic Alerts Not Announced for Screen Reader Users

Industry best practices demand real user involvement where only native testers can evaluate content context, workflow logic, and dynamic interactions as experienced by people with disabilities.

Automated testing excels at code-level checks, but manual validation by professionals who use assistive technologies is irreplaceable for truly inclusive experiences!

Tables slowing you down in accessibility testing? We get it.

Digging through endless and tags just to figure out if a table is accessible is painful. That’s why we built something better.

Introducing the Table Bookmarklet in A11yInspect!

With just one click, you can instantly understand the table structure (e.g., map header–cell relationships), slash testing time from minutes to seconds and spot hidden accessibility issues you’d otherwise miss.

It doesn’t just display the native table structure — it also reveals the ARIA roles and attributes behind it if used. How amazing is that?

This isn’t just another feature. It’s a smarter, faster way to test tables.

Download A11yInspect and put the Table Bookmarklet to work - https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/barrierbreak-a11yinspect/giaolcgipopikbjonacmaokkeiaolmfp

While your current tool catches accessibility issues for less than 20% of the success criteria, critical barriers are slipping through undetected every single day.

Watch this video to see how A11yInspect detects accessibility violations across 18 success criteria, the industry's highest automated coverage.

https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7364261160650518529

Here's what makes A11yInspect different:
- See exactly which WCAG rules are violated
- Zero false positives
- Ruleset continuously improved for maximum accuracy

When your automated testing catches more real issues upfront, your manual testing becomes laser-focused on the complex problems that actually need human expertise.

Know what most automated accessibility tools manage? Around 20–30% coverage of WCAG 2.1 success criteria.

That means most of them miss 70–80% of the rules that define accessibility.

A11yInspect leads the industry by detecting automated accessibility failures across 18 success criteria, the highest coverage available today!

Unlike other tools that hide their methodology, A11yInspect operates with complete transparency:
- Exhaustive ruleset documentation. You know exactly what we test
- Clear issue mapping to specific WCAG success criteria
- Zero false positive tolerance. Every flagged issue is a real accessibility barrier
- Frequent rule updates to improve accuracy, reduce noise and expand coverage

When your automated testing covers more success criteria from day one, your manual testing efforts become laser-focused on the complex, nuanced issues that truly require human expertise.

How many times have you found an accessibility issue only to spend 10x longer hunting it down in your code than actually fixing it?

That's the old way.

But with the A11yInspect way, it's just one click and boom! You're staring directly at the problematic line of code.

Our Key Code Attribute feature doesn't just tell you what's wrong. It shows you exactly where it's wrong.

No more treasure hunting through your codebase. No more "wait, which was that again?"

What used to take 15-30 minutes of detective work now takes 15 seconds.

Because accessibility shouldn't be about finding needles in haystacks. It should be about building inclusive experiences.

Ready to reclaim those lost hours?
