Accessibility Assistant – Readabler

Readabler Accessibility Assistant adds AI-powered accessibility features directly to your WordPress site for a better user experience.

Sebastjan

<p>The European Accessibility Act (in force since June 2025) and WCAG 2.1 AA make<br />
accessibility a legal requirement, not a nice-to-have. NINJA AI Accessibility<br />
scans every published post and page for the barriers you can actually fix and<br />
scores each one 0–100, worst-first.</p>
<p><strong>This is not an accessibility “overlay.”</strong> Overlay widgets don’t create<br />
compliance — courts have repeatedly ruled against them, and in 2025 a large<br />
share of accessibility lawsuits targeted sites that had one installed. We don’t<br />
hide problems behind a toolbar; we find the real ones in your content and tell<br />
you how to fix them.</p>
<p><strong>What it checks (per post/page, scored 0–100):</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Image alt text</strong> (WCAG 1.1.1) — flags images with no <code>alt</code> attribute. Valid<br />
decorative images (<code>alt=""</code>) are correctly left alone, so you don’t get<br />
false positives.</li>
<li><strong>Link purpose</strong> (WCAG 2.4.4) — empty links and vague text like “click here”<br />
or “read more” that tell a screen-reader user nothing out of context.</li>
<li><strong>Heading structure</strong> (WCAG 1.3.1) — skipped heading levels and multiple H1s<br />
that break the document outline.</li>
<li><strong>Frame titles</strong> (WCAG 4.1.2) — embedded iframes (video, maps) with no title.</li>
<li><strong>Table headers</strong> (WCAG 1.3.1) — data tables missing <code><th></code> header cells.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>EAA readiness panel:</strong> checks for a published accessibility statement and a<br />
declared document language.</p>
<p><strong>Honest about its limits.</strong> Some criteria — colour contrast, keyboard focus<br />
order, theme landmarks — depend on rendered styles and can’t be judged from<br />
content alone, so we never claim to. Use this to fix what’s findable and pair<br />
it with a manual review for full WCAG 2.1 AA / EAA conformance. The free plugin<br />
runs entirely on your site and makes <strong>no external requests</strong>.</p>
<h3>NINJA AI Accessibility Pro (optional add-on)</h3>
<p>NINJA AI Accessibility Pro (from https://ninja.si — not the WordPress.org<br />
directory) adds one-click, AI-assisted remediation (e.g. generating descriptive<br />
alt text from each image) and <strong>Accessibility Watch</strong> — it re-scans on a<br />
schedule and emails you when a new publish introduces a barrier or your score<br />
drops. Pro is the only part that contacts ninja.si, and only after you register.</p>


NINJA AI Accessibility

Audit your content for WCAG / EU Accessibility Act issues — alt text, headings, links, frames, tables — scored with a fix list. No overlay, no fluff.
