Eye-Able Report Product Overview

What is Eye-Able Report?

Eye-Able Report is a software solution that automatically checks websites for accessibility and WCAG compliance. The report provides an overall accessibility rating, highlights the most common issues, lists WCAG success criteria that have not been met by category and severity, and offers specific suggestions for improving elements that contain errors. In this way, the Report helps to systematically identify, prioritise and rectify barriers.

Features

Eye-Able Report carries out regular, automated scans of the website at a set interval. In addition, a manual rescan can be initiated if required.

For the audit, you can choose between the three WCAG compliance levels: A, AA and AAA, with the option to include or exclude best practices. Depending on the selected compliance level, an overall rating is calculated, which is further broken down by WCAG level and best practices. To track overall progress, as well as changes in a domain’s overall rating and number of errors, a comparison function and an export function for the report are available alongside trend charts. A report subscription also offers the option of receiving a summary of the results by email at regular intervals.

Further information on this can be found in the following articles:

Identifying and prioritising issues

In the ‘Issues’ menu, the accessibility issues found are listed in a table showing the issue name, the relevant WCAG level, severity (error, warning or note), frequency, area of responsibility (design, code or content) and the percentage impact on the overall rating. As individual errors carry different weights, it is advisable to sort them by impact so that you can first rectify the errors with the greatest effect – this is the quickest way to improve accessibility and the overall score.

The AI assistant Ally can be used optionally and helps to summarise the results, as well as to organise and prioritise the next steps, always based on the current report findings.

You can find further information about Ally in the following article:

Managing and assigning issues

Issues can be assigned to individual members of your organisation and then managed in the ‘My Goals’ section. Assigned issues progress through the statuses ‘Planned’, ‘In Progress’ and ‘Resolved’ – the latter is automatically recognised during the next scan as soon as an issue has actually been resolved.

For each accessibility issue, further information is available, including solution guidance and an overview of all affected subpages. Via the link to the Audit browser extension, an error can be viewed directly on the affected page, including a screenshot and the relevant HTML snippet. An Audit check can be started using the “Check now” function in the report page view.

Both in the issue details view and in Audit, Ally is available as an AI assistant to answer questions and can thus help you understand and resolve the accessibility issues found.

If required, you can hide identified issues after manual review, in case you no longer wish them to be included in the report’s assessment.

Further information on these features can be found in the following articles:

Settings and configuration

Reports can be customised as required to tailor the audit to your specific needs. The following settings, amongst others, are available:

  • Allow and Block lists: Actively prioritise or exclude URLs from the report based on URL lists, sitemaps and regular expressions.

  • Page actions: Influence the crawler’s behaviour using clearly defined actions. Useful, for example, for mapping login processes or other user journeys.

  • Reporting schedule: Set specific days and time periods during which the report can run.

Technical Basis

Eye-Able Report is based on the standardised accessibility guidelines of the WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines). The report automatically scans pages and analyses coded content, PDFs and link structures. PDF documents are checked against WCAG 2.2 and PDF/UA standards to ensure that accessibility criteria are met.

Data protection

Eye‑Able Report carries out website analyses without storing or passing on users’ personal data. The reports focus on technical and structural accessibility issues rather than individual user data, which enables the tool to be used in compliance with data protection regulations.
