A11yBridge automatically covers the majority of technical WCAG 2.1 AA requirements. Some criteria, however, require human judgment – this is a technology-wide limitation, not specific to A11yBridge.
What A11yBridge checks and fixes automatically
- Missing alt text (automatic generation)
- Color contrast issues (detection and guidance)
- Missing form labels
- Invalid document structure
- Inaccessible links
What should be checked manually
- Videos: subtitles and audio descriptions (WCAG 1.2)
- Complex interactive elements (custom sliders, dropdowns)
- Cognitive accessibility (readability and clarity of content)
- Accessibility statement (legally required)
