An accessibility consultancy reports concrete results: tools called OS Player and Ozart and an automated accessibility testing tool built and used for 15 years, with 60% staff with disabilities across the team. Claims: PDFs are not secure compared with HTML and can be doctored; Google reCAPTCHA and many CAPTCHAs fail screen reader and cognitive access. Presents WCAG clauses (1.1.1, 3.3.8, timing and error rules), concrete alternatives (honeypots, server side filters, MFA, human bypass) and practical examples of form error messages and timeouts.
