<p>reala11y is a WordPress accessibility checker and scanner that helps your site move toward WCAG 2.2 AA conformance by scanning for common issues and applying safe, code-level fixes — skip links, focus outlines, language attributes, form labels, target-size, link purpose, and more. Unlike accessibility overlay widgets, reala11y modifies the underlying HTML so screen readers and keyboard users encounter the corrected page.</p>
<h4>What reala11y does</h4>
<ul>
<li>Scans posts and pages against a WCAG 2.2 rule library.</li>
<li>Applies safe, automated fixes at render time (per-rule on/off, one-click rollback).</li>
<li>Generates a customizable accessibility statement.</li>
<li>Suggests image alt text with your own AI key (OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google Gemini) — you review every suggestion before it is applied.</li>
</ul>
<h4>What reala11y does NOT do</h4>
<ul>
<li>It does not guarantee WCAG, ADA, EAA, or Section 508 compliance. Automated tools detect approximately 30–40% of WCAG failures by criteria. Full conformance requires human review.</li>
<li>It is not an overlay widget. The Federal Trade Commission’s April 21, 2025 order against accessiBe affirmed that overlay claims of automatic WCAG conformance are not supportable.</li>
</ul>
<h4>External services</h4>
<p>reala11y is self-contained and contacts third-party services only as described below, and only when the relevant feature is used.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>WordPress.org — used for plugin update checks, as for any plugin hosted here. No personal data is sent beyond the standard update request.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>AI providers — OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google Gemini (optional, bring-your-own-key). The AI authoring features (for example, alt-text suggestions) stay off until you enter your own API key for a provider and run a feature. When you run a feature, reala11y uses your key to send that provider the input you selected — for example, the URL of an image or a block of your post’s text — together with a short instruction prompt. The response is shown to you for review and is never applied automatically. reala11y does not proxy or resell AI usage; the provider bills you directly. Remove a provider’s key to disable it.</p>
<ul>
<li>OpenAI — Terms: https://openai.com/policies/terms-of-use/ — Privacy: https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy/</li>
<li>Anthropic — Terms: https://www.anthropic.com/legal/commercial-terms — Privacy: https://www.anthropic.com/legal/privacy</li>
<li>Google Gemini — Terms: https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/terms — Privacy: https://policies.google.com/privacy</li>

<h4>Source code</h4>
<p>reala11y is open source (GPLv2 or later). The admin interface is written in React and TypeScript and bundled with Vite. The human-readable source for the compiled files in build/admin/ ships with the plugin under admin/src/. To rebuild it, run “npm install” and then “npm run build” in the plugin’s admin/ directory.</p>
<h4>Why reala11y</h4>
<ul>
<li>Code-level remediation, not an overlay widget.</li>
<li>WCAG 2.2 (including 2.5.8 Target Size and the focus criteria).</li>
<li>Bring-your-own AI key — no surprise quotas, no resold tokens.</li>
<li>Honest claims. We never tell you you’re “fully compliant.”</li>
