Abstract

Aspects described herein may provide determination of compliance with accessibility rules by a webpage. A first version of a webpage may be compliant with the accessibility rules.

A voiceover of the second version of the webpage may be initiated. The voiceover may include starting automatic text-to-speech software that reads aloud the second version of the webpage. The voiceover of the second version of the webpage may be recorded and stored. A textual transcript of the stored recording may be generated. Compliance of the second version of the webpage with the accessibility rules may be determined based on the textual transcript of the stored recording and based on the first version of the webpage.
