Savoy AI

<p>Savoy Accessibility scans the PDFs on your WordPress site and uses the Savoy cloud service to generate WCAG 2.1 AA-friendly HTML versions of each one, so screen readers and other assistive technologies can read the content directly. It also includes a set of on-demand audits and opt-in hardening toggles for common WCAG issues elsewhere on your site.</p>
<p>The plugin is intended for sites that publish a lot of PDF content (schools, universities, government agencies, nonprofits, and businesses).</p>
<h4>Key features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Automatic PDF detection across posts, pages, and the media library</li>
<li>Conversion of PDF text content to semantic HTML using the Savoy service</li>
<li>Automatic scanned PDF detection — text is extracted directly when a text layer is present; vision AI OCR is used when the entire document is image-only (e.g. a scanned page). Embedded images in any PDF are described separately via vision AI for alt text.</li>
<li>Automatic alt-text generation for images inside PDFs</li>
<li>Generated documents are stored as a custom post type so you can edit them in Gutenberg</li>
<li>Optional AI chat sidebar in the document viewer (off by default)</li>
<li>Inline accessibility badge next to PDF links</li>
<li>Optional automatic link rewriting so visitors land on the HTML version</li>
<li>Daily automatic scanning to catch newly uploaded PDFs</li>
<li>Works with any theme</li>
</ul>
<h4>On-demand audits</h4>
<ul>
<li>Image alt text audit</li>
<li>Generic link text audit (WCAG 2.4.4) — flags “click here”, “read more”, bare URLs</li>
<li>Heading hierarchy audit (WCAG 1.3.1, 2.4.6) — flags multiple H1s and skipped levels</li>
<li>Tables-without-headers audit (WCAG 1.3.1)</li>
<li>Empty or missing button labels audit (WCAG 4.1.2)</li>
</ul>
<h4>Opt-in hardening toggles</h4>
<ul>
<li>Inject <code><html lang></code> if missing</li>
<li>Visible focus outlines for keyboard navigation</li>
<li>Respect <code>prefers-reduced-motion</code></li>
<li>“Skip to main content” link</li>
</ul>
<h4>Software as a Service</h4>
<p>This plugin is a client for the Savoy service at <a href="https://savoy.chat/accessible" rel="nofollow ugc">savoy.chat</a>. PDF processing, OCR, HTML generation, and AI chat all run on Savoy’s servers. The plugin only communicates with Savoy when you provide an API key. See the Savoy Terms of Service and Privacy Policy at <a href="https://savoy.chat/terms" rel="nofollow ugc">savoy.chat/terms</a> and <a href="https://savoy.chat/privacy" rel="nofollow ugc">savoy.chat/privacy</a>.</p>
<p>The free portion of the plugin (PDF detection and the audit/hardening tools) does not require an API key and does not contact Savoy’s servers. PDF conversion and link rewriting require a Savoy subscription.</p>
<h4>How it works</h4>
<ol>
<li>Install and activate the plugin.</li>
<li>Go to Settings > Savoy Accessibility. Click “Rescan all content” to see how many PDFs are on your site.</li>
<li>(Optional) Sign up at savoy.chat/accessible, paste in your API key, and click Save and Verify.</li>
<li>Detected PDFs are sent to the Savoy service for conversion.</li>
<li>Each converted document is stored as an Accessible Document post in WordPress, which you can edit.</li>
<li>Links on your site are optionally rewritten to point at the accessible HTML version.</li>
</ol>
<h4>What happens to my original PDFs?</h4>
<p>The plugin never modifies your original files. It creates parallel HTML pages and optionally points visitors to them. You can disable link rewriting at any time.</p>

Accessibility by UserWay

There is no such thing as a quick fix (one button click) for accessibility. This widget may be, at best, work like a small band aid. 

An accessible website needs amongst other things, semantic HTML5, good keyboard accessibility, meaningful (handwritten) alt texts for images and good screen reader feedback. This widget cannot provide that.

The claim: “WCAG 2.1 AA Compliance is Within Reach” is a very bold one.

Design and build a website from the start with accessibility in mind.
The WordPress Accessibility Handbook is a good starting point.

Note to the developer:
The button to activate the widget doesn’t get keyboard focus. So can’t be activated by keyboard users.
