Accessibly App features
When Accessibly App is installed on a website, users can navigate the site using keyboard navigation via the “tab” key (WCAG 2.1/2.1.1). This feature enhances the usability of the interface for those who require keyboard accessibility. Below is a comprehensive list of the accessibly app features designed to enrich overall user experience:
Zoom | WCAG 2.1 / 1.4.4
This feature allows users to increase text size by up to three times the original, facilitating improved readability for everyone, especially beneficial for those with visual impairments.
Bigger cursor
The cursor is enlarged for better visibility, making it easier for users to interact with the website without straining their eyes.
Invert colors
This feature enables users to invert the colors displayed on the website. For individuals with decreased vision, the high contrast created by this adjustment significantly facilitates reading the content more effectively.
Tweak Contrast | WCAG 2.1 / 1.4.6
Users now have the option to manually select enhancements to website contrast or decrease it, helping tailor visuals according to individual preferences and needs.
Tweak Brightness | WCAG 2.1 / 1.4.6
This feature empowers users to adjust the brightness of the website content, accommodating those who require lighter or darker experiences for better visibility.
Grayscale | WCAG 2.1 / 1.4.6
This function allows users to enable grayscale viewing, presenting website content solely in shades of gray, which can be particularly advantageous for individuals with certain visual impairments.
Reading Line
This tool introduces a helpful reading line to guide users while navigating text, providing better focus and aiding comprehension.
Readable fonts
Available fonts on the site can be converted to one of the most legible options, Helvetica, enhancing readability and supporting those with dyslexia or other reading difficulties.
Alt Text and Images
Accessibly App features a capability that reads alt text for images. Currently, our tool generates alt descriptions for images lacking them using Google's Vision AI. This greatly aids users with visual impairments, ensuring they receive important context about the imagery on your site.
Tooltips | WCAG 2.1 / 2.5.3
Labels can be added to images, providing written descriptions that help convey the intended message, further enhancing accessibility.
Highlight links
This feature ensures that links are prominently highlighted, making navigation straightforward for users.

The option to hide images enables improved readability for users experiencing visual impairments, allowing them to focus solely on textual content.
Read page
This functionality provides a voice that reads aloud the text on your site, catering to visitors who may prefer auditory information or have difficulty reading text.
