Web Accessibility is actually well-forgotten old
summary
Claims that most sites fail accessibility standards with tangible numbers: ~96% of sites show WCAG issues, 60% of images lack alt text, 45% of Dutch iOS users use accessibility features. Practical tools named: Google Lighthouse for automated scans, plus manual, user, and assistive‑technology testing. Examples: a project passes state WCAG checks but fails real users; AI aids text‑to‑speech (Amazon Polly, Google TTS) and voice assistants yet cannot replace human testing. Recommendation: follow WCAG and recruit users with disabilities.
