The Press is Also Exposing the Lies accessiBe Tells:
People With Disabilities Say This AI Tool Is Making the Web Worse for Them
"AccessiBe requires inserting just “one line of code,” the company says…. But Scott-Gardner and others have documented how the lack of a human in the loop… leads to problems that make pages unnavigable. Among the common complaints: The tools render tables incomprehensible, hide drop-down menus, and the image recognition algorithms that write alternative text for photos consistently deliver misleading or nonsensical descriptions. See “People With Disabilities Say This AI Tool Is Making the Web Worse for Them. "
Blind people, advocates slam company claiming to make websites ADA compliant
"Many blind people and disability advocates on social media say they have experienced problems when trying to use sites that have installed AccessiBe. They say when they visit those sites, it can prevent screen readers — which read out loud what’s on websites, including image descriptions, menus and buttons — from reading the pages correctly and has rendered some websites they used to use unnavigable. "
Largest U.S. Blind Advocacy Group Bans Web Accessibility Overlay Giant AccessiBe From Its National Convention
"The National Federation of the Blind, America’s most powerful civil rights and advocacy group for the visually impaired has launched a scathing attack on web accessibility overlay market leader accessiBe, accusing the company of engaging in “harmful” practices. "
