ADA Compliance Guardian

ADA Compliance Guardian provides a robust, AI-driven framework to streamline the complex process of achieving and maintaining web accessibility standards, including WCAG 2.1, ADA Title III, and Section 508. Our solution is engineered to mitigate legal risk, enhance user experience for all individuals, and integrate seamlessly into your existing WordPress workflow. 
This plugin leverages state-of-the-art AI models from Google and OpenAI to automate critical compliance tasks that are traditionally manual, time-consuming, and error-prone.
<h3>Core Technology & Features:</h3>
<ul>
<li>AI-Powered Image Alt Text Generation (Google Gemini) 
Leverages Google’s advanced Gemini multimodal AI model to analyze image content and context, generating highly descriptive and accurate alternative text. 
The system supports multiple generation modes:
<ul>
<li>Individual Generation: Create alt text for single images directly from the media library interface.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Bulk Generation: Automatically identify all images missing alt text and generate descriptions for them in a single, managed operation.</li>
<li>SEO & ADA Enhanced Regeneration: A specialized mode to regenerate alt text for all library images, focusing on a dual-mandate of comprehensive ADA compliance and semantic SEO enrichment.</li>
<li>Automated Video Captioning & Subtitles (OpenAI Whisper) 
Integrates seamlessly with OpenAI’s Whisper API, a leading automatic speech recognition (ASR) system, to generate precise, time-coded captions for your video assets.</li>
<li>WebVTT Generation: Automatically produces W3C standard WebVTT (.vtt) caption files from your video’s audio track.</li>
<li>Automatic Display: The plugin intelligently modifies your website’s front-end video players (both shortcode and block-based) to include the necessary <code><track></code> tags, ensuring captions are available to your users without manual theme editing.</li>
<li>Enhanced Focus Management & Keyboard Navigation 
Provides a consistent and highly-visible focus indicator for all interactive elements, a critical component for users who rely on keyboard navigation. 
This feature can be toggled in the plugin settings.</li>
<li>AI Tabindex Manager (Experimental): An optional, experimental feature that uses an AI model to analyze the DOM and identify non-interactive elements that have been scripted to be interactive but lack focusability. 
When enabled, it programmatically applies <code>tabindex="0"</code> to these elements.</li>
</ul>

DocAccess is an accessibility service from CivicPlus that automatically makes PDF documents and other files on your website accessible to people with disabilities. This is the official DocAccess plugin: install it, flip the switch, and the DocAccess service handles the rest.
This plugin does not process documents itself. It adds a small helper script to your pages that lets the DocAccess service (operated by CivicPlus at docaccess.com) discover document links and make them accessible to your visitors. An active DocAccess account with your domain registered is required.
How it works:
<ol>
<li>Install and activate the plugin</li>
<li>Go to Settings > DocAccess</li>
<li>Toggle the switch to enable</li>
<li>Log in to your DocAccess account at <a href="https://docaccess.com" rel="nofollow ugc">docaccess.com</a> to configure your documents</li>
</ol>
Features:
<ul>
<li>One-click setup — no code editing required</li>
<li>Automatic document link discovery on all pages</li>
<li>Accessible document viewer for your visitors</li>
<li>Lightweight — adds a single async script with zero impact on page speed</li>
<li>Fully accessible and keyboard navigable settings page</li>
</ul>
Requirements:
An active DocAccess account from CivicPlus is required. Your website domain must be registered in your DocAccess dashboard. Visit <a href="https://docaccess.com" rel="nofollow ugc">docaccess.com</a> to get started.
<h3>External services</h3>
This plugin relies on the DocAccess service, operated by CivicPlus, to provide its functionality. When you enable the plugin’s toggle, the plugin loads a helper script from docaccess.com on the front end of your site. The helper script then communicates with the DocAccess service on behalf of your visitors.
The plugin and helper script connect to the following endpoints on docaccess.com (operated by CivicPlus):
1. Helper script (docaccess.com)
<ul>
<li>What it is: The DocAccess helper script (<code>docbox.js</code>), used to discover document links and serve the accessible document viewer.</li>
<li>When it runs: On every page load on the front end of your site, but only after you toggle DocAccess on in the plugin settings. The script is not loaded when DocAccess is toggled off.</li>
<li>What is sent: A standard HTTP request to docaccess.com to fetch the script. The request includes information your browser normally sends with any third-party script request (IP address, user agent, referring page).</li>
</ul>
2. Domain configuration (docaccess.com)
<ul>
<li>What it is: A read-only configuration file describing how DocAccess should behave on your domain (e.g., whether the domain is registered, which file patterns to look for).</li>
<li>When it runs: Once per page load, when the helper script initialises.</li>
<li>What is sent: Your site’s hostname (e.g., <code>example.com</code>), so the service can return the configuration for that domain.</li>
</ul>
3. Document link intake (docaccess.com/api/v2/documents/intake/url)
<ul>
<li>What it is: The DocAccess document intake endpoint, used to register newly discovered document links so they can be processed for accessibility.</li>
<li>When it runs: When the helper script finds a document link (PDF, DOCX, etc.) on a page that has not yet been seen.</li>
<li>What is sent: The URL of the document link and the URL of the page it was found on. No visitor personal data is sent.</li>
</ul>
All three endpoints are operated by CivicPlus, Inc. at docaccess.com. Use of these services is governed by the DocAccess terms and privacy policy:
<ul>
<li>DocAccess Terms of Service: <a href="https://docaccess.com/terms-of-service" rel="nofollow ugc">https://docaccess.com/terms-of-service</a></li>
<li>DocAccess Privacy Policy: <a href="https://docaccess.com/privacy-policy" rel="nofollow ugc">https://docaccess.com/privacy-policy</a></li>
</ul>
The fonts used on the plugin’s settings page (Lato) are bundled with the plugin and served locally — no font CDN or other third-party host is contacted by this plugin.
