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>

WP ADA Compliance Check Basic

Up-to-date standards are offered for checking compliance, and it provides a cost-effective way to scan a site for compliance. There's services out there where it'd cost more than $150 (the current cost of a 1 site 1 year license) for the size of the sites I'm working with. I'm very happy to see this offering in the first place, and it's even nicer to see how thorough it looks to be.

Of course, it's not perfect so I'd love to see more of the WP.org listing fleshed out (the developer author/contributor mention is missing, etc.), I'd love to see the free version on GitHub (or similar for community development assistance [I have a few things I'd help with] which is very nice to see in a WP.org listing to show there's support / ongoing development for the plugin), and of course I'd love to see the server-side checker come to feature-parity with WAVE (currently WAVE is showing a few things the server-side checker doesn't have [color contrast, etc.])

Keep up the great work!
