Accessibility Desk

Accessibility Desk offers the AI Accessibility Toolkit, a comprehensive suite of AI-powered tools designed to help content creators, developers, and website owners enhance digital content accessibility. The toolkit includes an Alternative Text Creator that generates descriptive text for images, videos, graphs, tables, and infographics; an Accessibility Text Checker that verifies text against accessibility standards; an Accessibility Statement Generator for creating WCAG-compliant statements; and a WCAG 2.1 AA Code Validator that automates code compliance checks. Additionally, it provides self-assessment tools—both an extended WCAG 2.1 AA reporting tool and a QuickScan—that offer insights into a site's accessibility level and can lead to certification upon successful completion.

The toolkit also features the Read Easy suite, which includes a Chrome extension and Microsoft Office add-ins (Word and Outlook) that simplify text readability for users with low literacy skills, providing real-time feedback and suggestions. Another component is the WCAG 2.1 AA Explainer, an AI-powered tool that helps users understand specific criteria. The tools are designed to integrate smoothly into existing workflows, aiming to foster a more inclusive digital environment. Accessibility Desk is a platform dedicated to digital inclusivity, and this toolkit represents a central part of that mission.
