How do web accessibility toolbars work?
Web accessibility toolbars allow users to modify the visual presentation or user experience of a website to their preferences or personal needs.
Unlike typical accessibility toolbars, AudioEye’s Accessibility Help Desk combines web personalization tools with 24/7 accessibility support, allowing users to report issues and tailor their experience in real time.
Accessibility features of the Accessibility Help Desk
AudioEye's Accessibility Help Desk allows users to easily personalize the visual experience on a website, supporting a wide range of visual impairments. It includes 13 easy-to-toggle adjustments to personalize the visual experience, including color schemes and contrast, increased font size and line spacing, and highlights, guides, and focus states that make it easier for users to find their place on a page. Along with these features, users can access 24/7 support to report any barriers they encounter, ensuring no issue goes unaddressed.

What are the benefits of a web accessibility toolbar?
AudioEye’s Accessibility Help Desk not only enables users to personalize their browsing experience but also offers round-the-clock support for reporting accessibility issues, ensuring every barrier is addressed and resolved in real time. However, it’s important to recognize that a toolbar alone will not make your website fully accessible or compliant — no matter what some vendors may claim.
AudioEye’s Accessibility Help Desk is integral to our comprehensive accessibility approach, empowering users to tailor their experience and report issues with 24/7 support.

Does AudioEye’s Accessibility Help Desk make my website ADA or WCAG compliant?
No accessibility widget or overlay can make a website fully accessible and compliant with accessibility standards like the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). There are too many WCAG 2.1 and WCAG 2.2 criteria that cannot by fully tested by automation alone.
AudioEye's Accessibility Help Desk is designed to complement the other components of our complete accessibility solution, helping you deliver the highest level of accessibility and usability for people with disabilities.
