WAVE ® is a suite of evaluation tools that helps authors make their web content more accessible to individuals with disabilities. WAVE can identify many accessibility and Web Content Accessibility Guideline (WCAG) errors, but also facilitates human evaluation of web content. Our philosophy is to focus on issues that we know impact end users, facilitate human evaluation, and to educate about web accessibility.

WAVE Browser Extensions

You can use the online WAVE tool by entering a web page address (URL) in the field above. WAVE Chrome, Firefox, and Edge browser extensions are available for testing accessibility directly within your web browser - handy for checking password protected, locally stored, or highly dynamic pages.

WAVE API and Testing Engine

The WAVE subscription API and Stand-alone WAVE API and Testing Engine are powerful tools for easily collecting accessibility test data on many pages. The stand-alone API and Testing Engine can be integrated into your infrastructure for testing intranet, non-public, and secure pages, including in continuous integration processes.

Accessibility IMpact (AIM) Report

Your Accessibility IMpact (AIM) assessment report provides detailed WAVE test data, your site's AIM score (a measure of end user impact compared to web pages generally and as determined by human testers), and expert manual test results to give you insights into the accessibility of your web site for users with disabilities.

Need more than one page at a time?

Our friends at provide an enterprise-level web accessibility evaluation system based on WAVE that gives site-wide monitoring and reporting over time.

Magnifier works like a digital magnifying glass, using the camera on your iPhone or iPad to increase the size of anything you point it at - from a prescription bottle to a candlelit menu. For those who are blind or have low vision and want more information about their physical surroundings, Detection Mode in Magnifier combines input from the camera, LiDAR Scanner and on-device machine learning to offer intelligent tools like People Detection, Door Detection, Image Descriptions, Text Detection and Point and Speak.

If you're standing in line, you can use People Detection to determine a person's proximity to you. Door Detection can help you navigate by identifying doors, text and the presence of symbols - such as a restroom symbol, a no smoking symbol or an accessible-entrance symbol - within a few feet of you. Image Descriptions and Text Detection let you hear more about people, objects, landscapes and text in your camera's field of view. And Point and Speak makes it easier to interact with physical objects that have text, like household appliances, keypads or labels on files. As you point and move your finger over or under different buttons or elements, your iPhone or iPad reads the text out loud, so you can perform everyday activities and tasks with more ease and independence.

AssistiveTouch for Apple Watch lets people with upper-body limb differences use their Apple Watch without ever having to touch the display or controls. Using built-in motion sensors and on-device learning, Apple Watch detects subtle differences in muscle movements and tendon activity, letting you control the display through hand gestures like a pinch or a clench. Answer incoming calls, control an onscreen motion pointer and access Notification Center, Control Center and more. You can also use AssistiveTouch for Apple Watch to run shortcuts with Siri to complete tasks or modify VoiceOver and Switch Control settings on your iPhone.

AssistiveTouch for iOS and iPadOS helps you adapt standard gestures - like pinch, rotate or swipe - to make them more comfortable for you. You can make other actions, like changing volume, accessible from the AssistiveTouch menu.

This feature speaks for itself.

Assistive Access makes it easy for people with cognitive disabilities to tailor iPhone and iPad to reduce cognitive load and suit their specific needs. Designed with feedback from individuals with cognitive disabilities and their trusted supporters, this feature helps people focus on the activities they enjoy most and that are foundational to iPhone and iPad - connecting with friends and family, taking and sharing photos, and listening to music.

Assistive Access offers a distinctive interface with high-contrast buttons and large text labels, as well as tools to help individuals and trusted supporters focus the experience in specific apps - Phone and FaceTime (which have been combined into a single Calls app), Messages, Camera, Photos and Music. You can also choose a more visual, grid-based layout for your Home Screen and apps, or a row-based layout if you prefer text.

Ask Me and Believe Me with Mickey Rowe | Think UDL

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Welcome to Episode 134 of the Think UDL podcast: Ask Me and Believe Me with Mickey Rowe. Mickey Rowe is an award winning best selling author and speaker. As an autistic and legally blind person, he believes that when we design for accessibility, we help others to perform at their best, and, as he says, that’s not just for disabled folks. He is a Broadway actor, director, consultant and public speaker and was the first autistic actor to play Christopher Boone, the lead role in the Tony Award-winning play The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. He is a disability and accessibility advocate and his most recent speaking engagement is with TextHelp’s open access conference Back to School Blockbuster: Lights, Camera, Educate! on September 18-19, from 12:00 pm to 3:00 pm EST. This is a free virtual conference designed just for educators. If you are listening to this episode after the synchronous online conference, all of the content is available on demand until the end of November and you can find a link to the Back to School Blockbuster conference on the ThinkUDL.org webpage under the resources section of this episode, and in the episode description. In today’s conversation with Mickey, we talk about his experiences as a disabled student at the university level and what he and his professors did to manage the barriers that persisted while he completed his undergraduate degree. Mickey gives us all, students, instructors, administrators, and everyone else, some sound advice on how to reduce the friction but not the rigor of a college education. There are some easy choices and forward thinking designs that can help all of us along the way. I was able to catch Mickey at 6:30am his time in Seattle, Washington, and by the end of our interview his young school-aged children had joined us in the recording and made a brief appearance. You’ll hear them, too!

Stimulus activities allow participants to record a video response to a prompt video (or other media) that you select. The recorded response will then be synchronized to the stimulus media, and the two will play side-by-side. This type is commonly used in interpreting and other language activities, for mock interviews, and other prompt-oriented responses. If you would like to see how students respond to Stimulus activities, see Recording a Stimulus video

How to set up a Stimulus activity

Create a new activity and select "Stimulus" as the type. Then, change the "Source Media" drop-down to "Owner Selected" to add the source media.

From the Library panel that opens, select the Collection your video resides in, or click the +Media button at the bottom to add a new video.

Choose Select and the video will be added as source media for the assignment.

With the Stimulus activity type, you can also have your participants provide their own stimulus. To do so, select "Participant Selected" in the "Source Media" drop-down. If you choose this option, participants will be prompted to add their Stimulus source media before they record their response.
> More on Activity Settings
How to critique a Stimulus activity

Giving feedback on a Stimulus recording is just like giving feedback on any other recording. To start, click the thumbnail of the video to begin playback. Then, enter your critique in the feedback panel on the right.

You'll see the Stimulus Media shown to the left of the participant's recording. These two videos can be resized by dragging the bar between the videos or the bar between the video and feedback panels. As you play the session, the Stimulus Media will play and pause when it was played or paused during the participant's recording.

Why do I hear an echo or double audio? If the participant recorded without headphones you will likely hear the stimulus coming from both videos. You can click the "Mute" button in the lower-left corner of either video to silence one of them and get rid of the echo.

System requirements for Stimulus activities

Stimulus activities require your browser to process two video streams simultaneously: playback of the stimulus video and the recorded submission. While this is easily accomplished by current-generation computers, older ones may struggle to smoothly render both the stimulus and the recording at the same time. The primary constraints are video processing power, system memory, and CPU horsepower in addition to internet connection speed. In general, having a dedicated video card and a relatively recent processor will provide the best results.

If your computer is struggling to keep up with both videos simultaneously, some options are:

Restart the computer to free up the highest amount of resources possible.

Close all other applications and tabs.

Arrange to use a newer machine for your Stimulus activities.

Note for Chromebook users
Due to the widely varying hardware and (often limited) system resources in Chromebooks, their performance with GoReact may or may not be acceptable. In our testing, newer, more robust Chromebooks generally work fine, while older or more limited Chromebooks will struggle or can fail outright. If your GoReact experience on a Chromebook isn't satisfactory, you'll most likely need to use a different device.
Please note
Stimulus activities are not currently supported on mobile devices.
