Reala11y Wordpress Plugin - Rating, Reviews, Demo & Download
Plugin Description
reala11y helps your site move toward WCAG 2.2 AA conformance by scanning for common issues and applying safe, code-level fixes — skip links, focus outlines, language attributes, form labels, target-size, link purpose, and more. Unlike accessibility overlay widgets, reala11y modifies the underlying HTML so screen readers and keyboard users encounter the corrected page.
What reala11y does
- Scans posts and pages against a WCAG 2.2 rule library.
- Applies safe, automated fixes at render time (per-rule on/off, one-click rollback).
- Generates a customizable accessibility statement.
- Offers BYOK AI alt-text suggestions (OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google Gemini) — your key, your control.
What reala11y does NOT do
- It does not guarantee WCAG, ADA, EAA, or Section 508 compliance. Automated tools detect approximately 30–40% of WCAG failures by criteria. Full conformance requires human review.
- It is not an overlay widget. The Federal Trade Commission’s April 21, 2025 order against accessiBe affirmed that overlay claims of automatic WCAG conformance are not supportable.
External services
reala11y is self-contained and contacts third-party services only as described below, and only when the relevant feature is used.
-
WordPress.org — used for plugin update checks, as for any plugin hosted here. No personal data is sent beyond the standard update request.
-
AI providers — OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google Gemini (optional, bring-your-own-key). The AI authoring features (for example, alt-text suggestions) stay off until you enter your own API key for a provider and run a feature. When you run a feature, reala11y uses your key to send that provider the input you selected — for example, the URL of an image or a block of your post’s text — together with a short instruction prompt. The response is shown to you for review and is never applied automatically. reala11y does not proxy or resell AI usage; the provider bills you directly. Remove a provider’s key to disable it.

Source code
reala11y is open source (GPLv2 or later). The admin interface is written in React and TypeScript and bundled with Vite. The human-readable source for the compiled files in build/admin/ ships with the plugin under admin/src/. To rebuild it, run “npm install” and then “npm run build” in the plugin’s admin/ directory.
Why reala11y
- Code-level remediation, not an overlay widget.
- WCAG 2.2 (including 2.5.8 Target Size and the focus criteria).
- Bring-your-own AI key — no surprise quotas, no resold tokens.
- Honest claims. We never tell you you’re “fully compliant.”
Screenshots
The reala11y dashboard — a plain-language overview of problems, items needing review, and passed checks (no single “compliance score”).
The issues list — each finding grouped by severity, with the WCAG success criterion and a one-click path to review or dismiss.
The scans screen — run a scan on any post, page, or same-site URL and watch progress.
AI settings — bring your own OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google key; reala11y stores it encrypted and shows only the last few characters.
