Announcing Major Upgrades to Three, Free Accessibility Tools

I have made major improvements to three free tools recently designed and built with assistance from Claude AI. They are intended to benefit end users, accessibility specialists, and software engineers. Here are direct links to their Windows installers:

*	2htm <https://github.com/JamalMazrui/2htm/releases/latest/download/2htm_setup.exe> 
*	extCheck <https://github.com/JamalMazrui/extCheck/releases/latest/download/extCheck_setup.exe> 
*	urlCheck <https://github.com/JamalMazrui/urlCheck/releases/latest/download/urlCheck_setup.exe> 

Below is more information about these tools.

2htm, extCheck, and urlCheck are a small family of free, MIT-licensed Windows command-line tools developed by me and shared on GitHub (with full C# and Python source code). Each is distributed as a single-file, 64-bit, independent binary executable that can run without an installation step, without a runtime dependency, and without anything in the registry.

*	 <https://github.com/JamalMazrui/2htm> 2htm - converts Word, Excel, and PowerPoint formats to clean, accessible HTML using Microsoft’s APIs, with options for plain text and image stripping.
*	 <https://github.com/JamalMazrui/extCheck> extCheck - checks the accessibility of .docx, .xlsx, .pptx, and .md files, writing CSV reports of issues found by an extensible rule set, based on guidelines from the Microsoft Office Accessibility Checker and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines.
*	 <https://github.com/JamalMazrui/urlCheck> urlCheck - drives the Microsoft Edge browser through the Playwright API and runs the axe-core testing code on each page, producing per-page reports plus a draft Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR.xlsx and ACR.docx) covering all 86 WCAG 2.2 success criteria, and offering a spreadsheet with manual tests for all criteria to complement the automated results.

The three programs share a consistent interface and a set of friendly features intended to make them equally convenient for the typical Windows user (working through a GUI dialog) and for developers automating tasks (working through the command line). Because the same options are available either way, the same scan or conversion can be reproduced from a script or scheduled task just as it was performed by hand.
