WCAG Compliance Explained
WCAG 2.1 accessibility guidelines have three levels. Here's what each one means for your website.
Level A
Basic accessibility features. Removes major barriers but typically not sufficient for legal compliance.
- • Required alt attributes for all informative images
- • Empty alt="" for purely decorative elements
- • Basic content descriptions
Level AA
Legal standard for most accessibility laws. What most organizations must achieve.
- • Context-aware, meaningful descriptions
- • Optimal length for screen readers (≈125 characters)
- • Balances accessibility with SEO requirements
- • Consistent quality across your entire site
Level AAA
Enhanced compliance that goes beyond legal requirements. Recommended for specialized organizations.
- • Comprehensive descriptions for complex visuals
- • Multiple description methods
- • User testing with disabled individuals
- • Professional accessibility review
Before and After
Instead of empty alt attributes, generic descriptions, or filenames, our system generates alt text that truly serves users.
alt=""
"Bar chart showing Q4 revenue increase from $2M to $6M, with steady growth acceleration in months 10-12"
"IMG_7834.jpg"
"Modern office hallway with glass conference rooms, natural lighting, and collaborative workspace design"
"Product image"
"Wireless Bluetooth headphones in matte black with padded ear cups and adjustable headband for extended listening comfort"

We generate alt text. That's one piece of accessibility, not the whole thing. Good alt text helps screen readers and search engines understand your images. That's pretty valuable on its own.

FAQ
-
No. No tool can make a whole site conform to WCAG or meet the ADA on its own. Our alt text covers WCAG 2.1 Success Criterion 1.1.1, text alternatives for images, which is one criterion of many. Full ADA conformance involves your entire website, navigation, forms, and organizational policies. We handle the alt text part.
-
Most websites can add alt text to every image in 1-3 days using our bulk processing tools. For WordPress sites, our accessibility plugin can process your entire media library automatically. Shopify stores can bulk-update product images through our app. Large enterprise sites with 10,000+ images typically finish within a week using our API integration.
-
We don't produce audit or conformance reports. You can export your alt text as a CSV with each image's URL, its alt text in every language you use, and the date it was added. Your dashboard also keeps a history of your bulk imports.
-
It covers the alt text part. Section 508 incorporates WCAG 2.0 Level AA, which requires text alternatives for images under Success Criterion 1.1.1, and our tool writes that alt text. That's one criterion of many, so the rest of your site still needs its own review. Government agencies use our tool to write alt text for their websites.
-
Our AI accessibility engine excels at describing charts, graphs, and infographics for screen reader users. It identifies data trends, chart types, and key information. However, highly complex data visualizations with multiple datasets may benefit from human review to ensure complete accuracy. We're transparent about these accessibility limitations and provide editing tools for fine-tuning.
-
Our accessibility pricing is simple: 1 credit per image per language. For most businesses, generating alt text for every image on the site costs $50-200, compared to $10,000+ in accessibility consultant fees.
