Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to common questions
What is the AI Fix feature and how does it work?
AI Fix automatically generates production-ready HTML code fixes for accessibility issues. After running a scan, click "Generate AI Fixes" to have our AI analyze each issue and provide corrected code. The AI uses OpenAI's GPT-4o-mini model, trained specifically for accessibility fixes. It addresses WCAG violations while maintaining your code's functionality and making minimal changes. AI Fix is available for paid subscribers (Starter, Professional, and Agency plans). Always review and test fixes before deploying to production.
What accessibility standards does AccessAudit check?
We check against WCAG 2.1 Level A, AA, and AAA, Section 508, and ADA requirements.
How accurate are the scans?
Our scans catch 80-90% of accessibility issues. Manual testing is still recommended for complete compliance.
Is the AI Fix always correct?
While our AI is trained on accessibility best practices and WCAG guidelines, you should always review fixes before deploying. Test the fix in your specific context, verify functionality hasn't been broken, and ensure styling is maintained. The AI provides a solid starting point, but human review is recommended for production code.
Can I scan password-protected pages?
Currently, we only scan publicly accessible pages. Enterprise features coming soon.
Do you offer API access?
Yes! API access is available on Agency plans. Contact support for details.
How often should I scan my website?
We recommend scanning after each significant update or at least monthly.
Can I white-label reports?
Yes, white-label reports are available on Agency plans.
What types of issues can the AI fix?
The AI can fix a wide range of accessibility issues including missing alt text, missing form labels, insufficient color contrast, missing ARIA attributes, improper heading structure, missing button labels, form validation issues, and many more WCAG 2.1 compliance issues.
