Visionably Research

Measurement you can repeat, tools you can run.

Everything we publish here states its method, names its instrument and can be reproduced. Reports are evaluations, not certifications. Tools are open source, so that checking accessibility costs nothing and runs anywhere.

About the tool

A PDF accessibility checker for the terminal. It tests PDF/UA-1 the way veraPDF and PAC do, maps every rule to WCAG 2.2, and then checks what a conformant file still gets wrong: whether the tags match what the page paints, and whether the words a screen reader is given are the words a person would use.

The public websites of 30 Indian scheduled commercial banks measured with one instrument against WCAG 2.2, and a task-based reading of what a screen-reader user can reach: find a branch, file a complaint, reach net-banking.

How we work

  1. Method first

    The sample, the instrument and the scoring are fixed and written down before anything is measured, and published with the result.

  2. Only what is confirmed

    Anything that needs a person's judgement is reported for review and never counted. A score is a floor on the failure rate, not a ceiling.

  3. Right of reply

    Everyone we measure receives their findings before publication. Corrections are made on reply and recorded in the report.
