Adience reveals wide differences in automated WCAG detection across accessibility tools

TUCSON, Ariz., Feb. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — AudioEye, Inc. (Nasdaq: AEYE) (“AudioEye” or the “Company”), an industry-leading digital accessibility company, today announced the results of a study conducted by Adience, a B2B market research agency, showing that AudioEye’s automated accessibility technology detects 89–253% more Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) issues than competitive products.

“The number of websites and apps has increased by 40-60% year over year due to the explosion in coding tools,” said David Moradi, CEO of AudioEye. “However, LLMs use automated detection from those included in this study, which shows substantially lower detection rates than AudioEye. As a result, digital accessibility on the internet is not improving and may even be getting worse, which is driving a record number of digital accessibility lawsuits.”

“We have years of data across hundreds of thousands of sites and billions of unique visits, which comes from our automation and custom fixes. We are leveraging this data set to scale our detection capabilities, which uniquely positions us to utilize cutting-edge agentic tooling to provide context to models that no other company has access to,” Moradi added.

Independent Testing Reveals Wide Gaps in Automated Detection
Adience evaluated five leading automated accessibility tools by scanning, measuring, and validating accessibility issues mapped to WCAG Levels A, AA, and AAA.

Key findings include:

  • At WCAG AA, the level most commonly referenced in regulations, several tools returned no findings across multiple sites, even though AudioEye detected valid issues on the same pages.
  • AudioEye was the only tool to consistently identify issues at all WCAG levels (A, AA, and AAA) across every website included in the analysis.
  • At WCAG Level A, AudioEye detected 509% more valid accessibility issues than the lowest-performing tool and 68% more than the next-closest tool.
  • At WCAG Level AA, AudioEye detected 380% more valid accessibility issues than the lowest-performing tool that returned any results and 41% more than the next-closest tool.

“Each tool was tested under identical conditions,” said Chris Wells, Managing Director at Adience. “The results show wide variation in what automated accessibility tools detect, even when analyzing the same pages.”

Automation is the Foundation for Industry-Leading Protection
Automated testing enables organizations to identify accessibility issues at scale, but its value depends on how effectively it can detect them. Broader automated coverage gives teams clearer visibility into compliance gaps early, while more complex, contextual barriers still require human evaluation.

AudioEye combines industry-leading automated WCAG detection with expert human testing, custom fixes, and continuous monitoring to deliver comprehensive accessibility protection. By expanding automated coverage, including support for WCAG 2.2, AudioEye helps surface more issues upfront and allows accessibility experts to focus on the highest-impact barriers automation alone cannot resolve.

Methodology 
The research evaluated how five widely used accessibility platforms detect accessibility issues through automation. Using a controlled, repeatable methodology, the study compared automated detection across the same webpages and WCAG conformance levels, the internationally recognized standards for digital accessibility compliance. The findings show substantial variation across tools in both the number of issues identified and the WCAG success criteria covered.

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
