Publisher review:AChecker is an accessibility evaluation Web service. AChecker is an accessibility evaluation Web service developed at the Adaptive Technology Resource Center (ATRC).
It is a model system that demonstrates how Web pages may be checked for accessibility problems. The accessibility checks in this system are based upon the proposed Open Accessibility Checks, which are under development. The AChecker Web service is seamlessly integrated with the ATutor content editor, allowing content authors to check the accessibility of their content as it is created.
The accessibility checker evaluates Web pages for accessibility problems and displays a warning message whenever a file fails to meet an established accessibility guideline.
Current guidelines sets include WCAG 2.0, Section 508, or All accessibility checks (Addition guideline sets will be added in the future). In addition to compiling a list of problems, the checker also sorts them into two categories: known and potential problems.
The number of known and potential problems, based on the guideline set selected, are displayed in a summary table. Listings in the summary table link to detailed descriptions
