WAVE 3.0 Web Accessibility Tool (WebAIM)
WAVE displays your web page graphically with icons that indicate errors or possible problems. You can even continue to browse within your site, all while using WAVE. To use it online, enter the URL of your page or upload your page to the WAVE site. You can also install a convenient browser toolbar or "bookmarklet" to make accessibility checking with WAVE as simple as clicking a button in your browser window while you are testing your site.
WEBXACT (Watchfire Corporation)
This free version of the Watchfire Corporation's web accessibility checker allows you to test one page at a time against either W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) or US Government web accessibility standards.
A-Prompt (Accessibility Prompt) (University of Toronto)
A-Prompt (Accessibility Prompt) is a downloadable software tool for Windows 98/98SE/2000/Me/XP. It first evaluates the Web page to identify barriers to accessibility, and then provides assistance in making the necessary repairs. You can check one page or focus on a particular element in a page. A-Prompt is available in either English or French, and is well-documented with screen shots and a Quick Start Tutorial on the web site.
ATRC Web Accessibility Checker (University of Toronto)
This online Web Accessibility Checker from the University of Toronto's Adaptive Technology Resource Centre allows you to test your page against a specific guideline/priority level, and provides a detailed report listing potential problems. For each item identified, it also summarizes the process used to test your page.
VisCheck and Daltonize: Colour Blindness Simulation and Correction (Delorie.com)
Roughly 1 in 20 people have some sort of colour vision deficiency, and sometimes can't see things that "colour normal" people can see. VisCheck lets you check your work for color blind visibility. Use it online by uploading your image files or web page, or download Photoshop plug-ins to run on your own Macintosh or Windows PC. The "Daltonize" tool can be used to correct images for colour-blind viewers.
Lynx Viewer Text-Only Simulator (Delorie.com)
Text is the media that is most "translatable" to a variety of assistive devices, so checking if your page would be usable in text-only mode is an excellent test for basic accessibility. This service allows you to approximate what your pages will look like when viewed with Lynx, a text-mode web browser. This is a good way to spot problems with missing or poor-quality ALT text.
Web Page Backward Compatibility Viewer (Delorie.com)
Want to see if your page would be usable without tables, scripts or style sheets? Visit this site, enter the URL of your page, and check only those features that you want the browser to be able to see. This site is meant for checking if your pages would be usable with older web browsers, but it can also be used to simulate common accessibility issues. For example, turn off images to see your ALT text in place. Turn off tables to see what order text would appear in without the table, a good indicator of how usable the page might be to someone using a screen reader. Or, turn off style sheets to see if someone who uses their own style sheet to compensate for low vision will still be able to use your page.
