Does the Eye-Able testing software work in a similar way to the Wave plug-in in the browser?

Yes, in part. The Eye-Able® testing software consists of two components:

• Audit Browser Extension

• Server-Side Report

Audit Browser Extension

The Audit extension functions similarly to the well-known WAVE plugin — it scans individual pages directly in the browser.

Key advantages of Eye-Able® Audit:

• Broader testing scope

• AI-powered features

• Intuitive, low-barrier user interface

This makes accessibility testing not only more efficient but also more approachable for a wider range of users.

Server-Side Report

In contrast, the Eye-Able® Report works server-side.

What it does:

• Performs regular scans of the entire domain

• Presents results clearly in a dashboard interface

• Enables accessibility testing for PDF documents as well as websites
