AudioEye A11iance Team

What The A11iance Does

At AudioEye we work with a team of testers to learn from their firsthand experiences of using assistive technologies, like screen readers, so we can better understand their unique challenges and continuously improve on our web accessibility solutions.

Who The A11iance Is

Our A11iance community is made up of a group of people with varying disabilities and backgrounds. Currently and in the past we’ve tested with low-and-no vision users, users with cerebral palsy, keyboard-only users, users with limited mobility, and colorblind users. Our testers are equally as varied in their experiences outside of testing with AudioEye; our group consists of singers, writers, medical advocates, teachers, trainers and customer service workers. Some have worked professionally as testers, while some are new to the process with AudioEye.

“Accessibility really doesn’t have to be this hard, scary thing. If you take some steps and do this today, your website will stand out as being exemplary.”
