Web Accessibility Evaluation Tools

WAI Tool Search

A-Checker - Online accessibility checker that tests web pages for conformance to various accessibility guidelines
Accessibility color wheel - helps in the choice of a color pair (text/background) to use in a web page. It simulates three kinds of colour blindness and it shows the result of w3c algorithms, that compute contrast and difference of brightness, applied to the chosen colours. The accessibility color wheel shows if the color pair is "good" from an accessibility point of wiew.
Functional Accessibility Evaluator - analyzes web resources for markup that is consistent with the use of DRES/CITES HTML best practices for development of functionally accessible web resources and resources that support interoperability. The HTML best practices are not a new standard, but rather a statement of techniques for implementation of the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines and United States Federal Government Section 508 standards that not only improve accessibility for people with disabilities, but also the interoperability of web resources for everyone so all people benefit by having more options to access and use web resources.
Hera - A web-based system that performs some automated WCAG 1.0 testing, then guides a user through tests which need to be done or confirmed manually. Hera is multilingual (you can change on the fly), and a translation interface is available to easily add new languages.Hera development is ongoing, and is mostly in spanish. The system is written in PHP and is available for adaptation under the GPL open-source license.
Relaxed HTML Validator - an easy to use HTML validator implementation which doesn't use the official W3C DTD's. It rather validates HTML documents using it's own schema definitions written in Relax NG with embedded Schematron patterns. This is an extremely expressive combination of languages which enables validation of additional restrictions which can not be expressed using DTD. This includes most restrictions specified in the W3C HTML 4.01 and the W3C XHTML 1.0 recommendation and some restrictions from WAI WCAG 1.0 Guidelines. "Relaxed" features also basic support for compound documents validation e.g. XHTML1.0+SVG1.1, XHTML1.0+MathML2.0 and XHTML1.0+MathML2.0+SVG1.1.
Tidy - A quorum of developers have pitched in on a SourceForge project to maintain and further develop Dave Raggett's excellent HTML Tidy program. We have two primary goals. First, to provide a home where all the patches and fixes that folks contribute can be collected and incorporated into the program. Second, a library form of Tidy has been created to make it easier to incorporate Tidy into other software.
Vischeck - a way of showing you what things look like to someone who is color blind. You can try Vischeck online - either run Vischeck on your own image files or run Vischeck on a web page. You can also download programs to let you run it on your own computer.
WAEX online - a Web Accessibility Evaluator in a single XSLT file. Such XSLT file can be applied (with any XSLT platform) to generate accessibility reports. These reports also include constraint evaluation of the XHTML specification not expressed/expressible in the DTD/Schema of XHTML
WAEX standalone - a Web Accessibility Evaluator in a single XSLT file. Such XSLT file can be applied (with any XSLT platform) to generate accessibility reports. These reports also include constraint evaluation of the XHTML specification not expressed/expressible in the DTD/Schema of XHTML.
WAhelper - a set of free software extensible tools for semiautomated checking of the accessibility features of web pages. It consists of an independent software library and an web based user interface for testing and making reports on web accessibility and managing web accessibility testing projects.
WAVE - exposes errors and highlights content where accessibility considerations require human judgement(e.g. WAVE exposes alt text so a human evaluator can determine whether it is appropriate for the image). Icons are used as feedback elements within the web page being evaluated.
