We Find What Automated Tools Miss

Automated scanners catch barely a third of real accessibility barriers. Our IAAP-certified specialists perform manual testing with JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, TalkBack, keyboards, and switch devices - then hand your developers exact, code-level fixes. We test against WCAG 2.2, ADA, Section 508, EN 301 549, and IS 17802, with framework guidance explained in our accessibility standards guide.

What We Do

Accessibility Services That End In Compliance

From your first audit to procurement-ready VPATs and ACRs – manual testing by certified specialists at every step.

View All Services

  • Accessibility Audit

    Manual WCAG 2.2 testing with NVDA, JAWS and VoiceOver. Prioritized findings with code pointers. Audits start at $20/hr.

  • Accessibility Remediation

    We fix the barriers in your code — semantics, ARIA, focus order, color contrast, and form labeling — with tickets your developers can act on the same day.

  • VPAT & ACR Documentation

    Conformance reports that pass procurement review, built from real testing — not a template with boxes pre-checked.

  • Accessibility Monitoring

    Continuous scanning, governance, and compliance tracking so new barriers get caught before your next release ships.

Manual Testing Proof

What Automated Scanners Miss vs. What We Test

Automated tools are a starting point, not a finish line. They are excellent at catching things a machine can measure – missing alt text, low contrast ratios, missing form labels. They are structurally incapable of judging things that require human perception, like whether an alt description is meaningful or whether a screen reader announcement actually makes sense in context.

This is why HalfAccessible audits always pair automated scanning with manual testing on JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack – the scanner tells us where to look; the tester tells us whether it actually works.

Frequently Asked Questions

Direct answers about digital accessibility consulting, WCAG audits, VPATs, timelines, pricing, and assistive technology testing.

What does a digital accessibility consulting company actually do?

A digital accessibility consulting company tests websites, apps, and documents against standards like WCAG 2.2, ADA, and Section 508, then provides code-level fixes, testing with real assistive technology such as screen readers and keyboards, and compliance documentation such as VPATs. HalfAccessible combines automated scanning with manual testing by IAAP-certified specialists rather than relying on scanner output alone.

How much does a WCAG accessibility audit cost?

HalfAccessible audits start at $20/hr, with final cost depending on site size, number of user flows, and whether you need full manual assistive technology testing or a scoped review. See the pricing page for a detailed breakdown.

What is the difference between an automated scan and a manual accessibility audit?

Automated scans catch objectively measurable issues like missing alt attributes or low color contrast. Manual audits add human judgment: testing with JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver to check whether content is actually usable, not just technically present.

What is a VPAT, and do I need one?

A VPAT, or Voluntary Product Accessibility Template, is a standardized document describing how a product conforms to accessibility standards like WCAG and Section 508. Once completed and reviewed, it is typically called an ACR, or Accessibility Conformance Report. You need one if you sell to government agencies, higher education, or enterprise buyers with procurement teams that require accessibility documentation.

How long does an accessibility audit take?

Accessibility audit timelines depend on scope. A focused audit of a single application can be completed in as little as 7 days, while larger multi-flow platforms typically take 2-4 weeks for full manual and assistive technology testing.

Which assistive technologies does HalfAccessible test with?

HalfAccessible tests with JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, TalkBack, and switch-access devices, covering major screen reader combinations on Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android plus motor-impairment testing workflows.
