Getting a web developer who knows about web accessibility and occasionally doing human user testing is actually accessible, and it's cheaper than their yearly fee in the long term.<div><br></div><div>They say that their reports are comparable to a human accessibility tester and they actually say that in their frequently asked questions.</div><div><br></div><div>I'm pretty sure the rumba website uses them. I could be confused and it might be a different overlay but I am pretty sure it's not and I'm too tired to go there right now and check.</div><div><br></div><div>A web accessibility specialist should write an article for the Braille Monitor about the lack of accessibility of their website. They accuse the Nfb of improperly using Mark up. They are saying that the tagline below live the life you want, the one minute message, should be a heading as well. No it shouldn't. They are the ones who can't correctly use markup on their own website. They make basically everything heading level three.</div><div><br></div><div>What if you are blind and have ADHD?

You should look at their compliance reports. They make false accusations.<div><br></div><div>I told the people at the Nfb the false accusations they were making about their website, and then Nfb did something to their website so when you do a scan, it asks you to please allow access to Webcrawler's.</div><div><br></div><div>But for example, they were accusing the Nfb of having an improperly labeled menu, when actually it was a group of Links.</div><div><br></div><div>Essentially they try to label everything with artificial intelligence and it is a disaster. I don't notice any difference when I go to screen reader mode for any of the websites b because of course our screen readers already have the built-in artificial intelligence that is not any better than what they are using.</div><div><br></div><div>Also, if you do a web skin they tell you if that website is a customer of theirs, which could compromise customer data. The website where the WCAG3 guidelines are hosted is apparently a customer although they do not use it. Yet their automated system doesn't ding you for what they consider noncompliance for not having an accessibility overlay. So basically it can't tell if you have implemented it and it scores you as though you are.</div><div><br></div><div>Also, their videos and social media are not accessible. Their own website is not accessible and difficult to navigate.</div><div><br></div><div>The Nfb has a resolution against them.
