<p>A11yBridge adds a visitor-friendly accessibility toolbar to your WordPress site. Visitors can adjust the visual appearance and navigation of your content with one click.</p>
<p>Video demo:<br />
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEINE_VIDEO_ID</p>
<p>Core features (no external backend, works offline):<br />
* Font size controls<br />
* Contrast adjustments<br />
* Focus mode (reduce distractions / highlight content area)<br />
* Color-blindness filters / color adjustments<br />
* Keyboard navigation support<br />
* Text-to-speech (TTS)</p>
<p>Optional AI feature:<br />
* AI-powered text simplification (multiple levels and languages)</p>
<p>Important note:<br />
This plugin can improve usability and accessibility, but it cannot guarantee full compliance with WCAG or any specific legal requirement. Always test your site with real assistive technologies and accessibility audits.</p>
<h3>AI features (optional)</h3>
<p>AI text simplification is processed on A11yBridge servers in Germany. Backend features are disabled by default and are only used after the site owner enables them (or activates a license). Any usage limits are enforced by the external service and depend on the service subscription associated with the installation.<br />
All non-AI accessibility tools (toolbar, contrast, focus mode, keyboard support, text-to-speech) work without any AI connection.</p>
<p>The plugin itself does not lock or restrict built-in/local functionality based on a license key, trial period, or local usage counters.<br />
If the service quota is exceeded, the service returns an error response and the plugin displays a notice.</p>
<h3>External Services / Data Transmission</h3>
<p>This plugin can optionally connect to A11yBridge backend services to provide AI text simplification and related service operations (e.g., quota management, license activation, abuse prevention). For WP.org compliance, it does NOT contact external servers by default. External requests happen only after explicit admin opt-in (backend enabled / AI feature enabled) or after the admin activates a license key.</p>
<p>Service endpoint(s):</p>
<ul>
<li>https://a11ybridge.de/wp-json/a11ybridge/v1
<ul>
<li>/license/status (read current license/installation status)</li>
<li>/license/activate (activate/bind license to this site)</li>
<li>/license/domains/delete (remove domain binding from license)</li>
<li>/free/status (free-tier quota status, only after admin opt-in)</li>
<li>/chat/simplify (AI text simplification, only when triggered by the user)</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>What data may be transmitted (depending on enabled features):</p>
<p>Local storage / Cookies on the site where the plugin is installed:</p>
<p>To remember accessibility preferences for visitors, A11yBridge stores settings in the visitor’s browser storage and (for guests) may also store a pseudonymous guest identifier.</p>
<p>Browser storage (localStorage) keys used by the frontend may include:<br />
* a11ybridge_plugin_settings (visitor accessibility preferences)<br />
* A11YBRIDGE_USER_LOCAL_V1 (visitor feature flags/preferences)<br />
* a11ybridge_colorMode (display mode)<br />
* a11ybridge:consent:text_simplify: (stores the visitor’s consent decision for AI text simplification prompts)</p>
<p>Cookie (functional):<br />
* a11ybridge_guest_id (random pseudonymous ID for guest settings; used to associate guest preferences stored on the same WordPress installation; expires after 30 days; SameSite=Lax; Secure on HTTPS)</p>
<p>This storage is used only to provide the requested accessibility features and is not used for advertising or cross-site tracking. Site owners should document this storage in their privacy/cookie documentation as required by applicable law.</p>
<ul>
<li>Selected text submitted by the user for AI text simplification (only when the user triggers simplification)</li>
<li>Pseudonymous installation ID</li>
<li>Domain/host (only after admin opt-in or license activation)</li>
<li>License key hash (pseudonymous, if a license is used)</li>
<li>Service-side usage/quota accounting</li>
<li>Request metadata (no IP forwarding; IP may be processed in server/security logs depending on configuration)</li>
</ul>
<p>Purposes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Provide AI text simplification on request</li>
<li>Service-side quota enforcement and account/service management</li>
<li>Abuse prevention, security and troubleshooting</li>
</ul>
<p>Infrastructure / Hosting:</p>
<ul>
<li>Backend services are hosted on a Hetzner server located in Nuremberg, Germany.</li>
<li>Subscription payments (if used) are handled by Paddle (Merchant of Record). No payment card data is handled by this plugin.</li>

<h3>ADVANCED TEXT-TO-SPEECH</h3>
<p>Looking for the best text-to-speech plugin on WordPress?</p>
<p>Using methods like natural language processing (NLP), BeyondWords’ unique text processing algorithms optimally convert your content into speech synthesis markup language (SSML). This enables AI voices to effectively pronounce elements that other platforms can struggle with, such as names, numbers, and dates, as well as filtering out elements that shouldn’t be read aloud. You can even add aliases to ensure everything is read exactly how you want it.</p>
<p>BeyondWords gives you access to neural voices from Google Cloud, Amazon Web Services, and Microsoft Azure (500+ voices across 140+ language locales).</p>
<p>You can also get access to premium neural voices — voice clones of professional voice actors that are exclusive to BeyondWords. Users have the option to develop a completely bespoke custom voice using our voice cloning service.</p>
<p>The result is naturalistic spoken-word audio content that engages your target audience — at a fraction of the cost of human recordings.</p>
<h3>EFFORTLESS DISTRIBUTION</h3>
<p>BeyondWords makes it easy to reach new audiences and grow your listenership. As well as auto-embedding audio players to your WordPress site, you can embed your audio manually or share via URL. You can even download your audios as mp3 files.</p>
<p>This includes content created automatically with our WordPress text-to-speech plugin, as well as content created manually with the Text-to-Speech Editor — perfect for audio newsletters.</p>
<p>Users can even create custom playlists that keep listeners listening for longer. These can be embedded, shared via URL, or even distributed via podcast feed. That means you can reach audiences through platforms like Apple Podcasts and Spotify.</p>
<h3>ANALYTICS AND MONETIZATION</h3>
<p>You get access to project analytics, which means you can track listener engagement at the project level through your BeyondWords dashboard. Users can also get access to audio analytics, as well as Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager integrations.</p>
<p>You can even leverage your listenership through audio advertising. Use our self-serve audio advertising feature to create your own campaigns or use VAST (video ad serving template) to connect a programmatic advertising platform, such as Google Ad Manager.</p>
