Why does a disability-led accessibility audit surpass automated tools?
Limitations
Automated monitoring tools, despite their efficiency, are limited to detecting only about 60% of actual accessibility issues. They can identify technical compliance but often miss the user logic aspect.
Interpretation
According to Harvard University, Seventy percent of Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) success criteria require human review in order to properly interpret criteria and navigate gray areas outside of technology’s purview.
Widgets
Some retailers use accessibility widgets to outsource making websites accessible, but that’s no guarantee that it works, or that they are safe from lawsuits. 575 of web accessibility lawsuits in 2022 named businesses using widgets, a 36% increase over 2021.
Dynamic content
Most automated tools don’t handle dynamic content or one-page applications.
Risks
Some automated tools offer “automatic compliance” that creates risks and liabilities, slows down websites and mislead the customer.
Validation
A manual accessibility audit validates user journeys, interactivity, and usability using assistive technology.
