## Descripción

reala11y is a WordPress accessibility checker and scanner that 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.
 * Suggests image alt text with your own AI key (OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google Gemini)—
   you review every suggestion before it is applied.

#### 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.”

## Preguntas frecuentes

### Does this make my site WCAG compliant?

No tool can. reala11y identifies common WCAG issues and remediates a defined subset
at the code level. Full conformance requires manual review and user testing.

### Do I need an API key for AI features?

Yes — bring your own OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google Gemini key. The AI authoring features
then work in this free version at no extra charge from us; your provider bills you
directly for what you use. reala11y never resells or proxies AI usage.

### How does this compare to accessibility overlay widgets?

Overlay widgets (e.g., accessiBe, UserWay) inject a floating JavaScript layer that
does not modify the underlying HTML. Screen readers continue to see the original,
unfixed page. The FTC fined accessiBe $1,000,000 on April 21, 2025 for claiming 
automated WCAG compliance. reala11y instead applies fixes to the actual HTML that
browsers, screen readers, and crawlers see.

### What WCAG version do you cover?

WCAG 2.2 AA. WCAG 2.2 became a W3C Recommendation on October 5, 2023.

### Is reala11y an alternative to accessiBe or UserWay?

If you are looking for an accessiBe or UserWay alternative that fixes the underlying
HTML instead of layering a JavaScript widget on top, reala11y is built for that.
Overlay widgets leave the original page unchanged for screen readers; reala11y edits
the actual code. As context, the FTC fined accessiBe $1,000,000 on April 21, 2025
over automated WCAG compliance claims.

### Can it generate alt text for my images?

Yes. The scanner flags images missing alt text (WCAG 1.1.1), and the bring-your-
own-key AI tools can draft an alt-text suggestion using your own OpenAI, Anthropic,
or Google Gemini key. Every suggestion is shown for your review and is never applied
automatically.

## Registro de cambios

#### 1.1.0

 * Fix issues inline, right where you see them. On a flagged issue (in the Issues
   list or the on-page checker) you can now type and apply the fix in one step: 
   image alt text, descriptive text for vague links, accessible names for icon-only
   buttons and links, and form-field labels.
 * Colour-contrast fixer: pick or auto-suggest an accessible text/background pair
   and apply it, with a live contrast ratio and WCAG AA pass/fail.
 * Heading-level fixer: re-level a heading that skips a step, with an optional bring-
   your-own-key AI outline suggestion.
 * New render-time theme-output fixes (off by default): a site-wide skip link, a
   visible keyboard-focus outline, a minimum target size, a main landmark, and restore-
   zoom. These inject real code (not an overlay) and are gated by Safe Mode; with
   the feature off, visitors get a byte-identical page.
 * Every fix is reversible with one-click undo and is logged.

#### 1.0.1

 * Listing refresh: real admin screenshots, clearer and more discoverable readme
   copy, and visible project links. No functional code changes.

#### 1.0.0

 * First public release.
 * Scanner: 16 WCAG 2.2 rules across posts, pages, and rendered theme output.
 * Auto-fix engine: safe, reversible, code-level fixes with per-fix toggles, one-
   click undo, and a Safe Mode kill-switch.
 * Inspect on page: an author-only annotated overlay on the live site (logged-in
   editors only; visitors never see it).
 * Dismiss issues with a structured reason and reopen them later.
 * Colour Contrast Tester in the new Tools screen.
 * BYOK AI authoring suite: bring your own OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google Gemini key—
   you pay your provider directly, never us.
 * Accessibility statement generator, VPAT starter, and compliance report.
 * Encrypted API-key storage and a clean uninstall.

#### 0.6.0

 * Scanner: 12 WCAG 2.2 rules across posts, pages, and rendered theme output.
 * Auto-fix engine: safe, reversible, code-level fixes with per-fix toggles and 
   one-click undo.
 * “Scan this post” button in the block-editor sidebar; scan any post or same-site
   URL from the Scans screen.
 * BYOK AI authoring suite: bring your own OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google Gemini key—
   you pay your provider directly, never us.
 * Accessibility statement generator, VPAT starter, and compliance report.
 * Encrypted API-key storage and a clean uninstall.

#### 0.0.1

 * Initial scaffold.
