What is AccessHawk?

AccessHawk scans any public webpage and generates a detailed WCAG compliance report in seconds. Unlike traditional rule-based scanners that only catch ~30% of accessibility issues, AccessHawk combines:

  • Google Lighthouse for deterministic rule-based checks
  • AI Vision Models for contextual analysis of user experience, visual hierarchy, and semantic meaning

The result is a comprehensive report that catches issues traditional scanners missβ€”like alt text that exists but doesn't actually describe the image, or navigation that's technically valid but confusing to use.
