The overlay problem
An overlay widget can't restructure your DOM, fix heading order, label every form field, or make a custom component keyboard-operable. Those are the issues that get sites sued, and they live in your code, not in a script bolted on at load time.
What AdaClear does instead
- Real WCAG 2.2 scan.
- Prioritized fixes you (or your dev) apply to the code.
- Continuous monitoring + regression alerts.
- Honest scope, no fake compliant badge. For the rest, an optional Expert Fix (human experts, AI-assisted, human-reviewed).

Frequently asked
Is there a better alternative to AudioEye? Yes. AudioEye relies heavily on an automated overlay; AdaClear instead scans your site and gives you the real, prioritized fixes to put in your code, the only thing that reduces ADA lawsuit risk.
Does AudioEye guarantee ADA compliance? No tool can guarantee compliance, and overlay-style automation misses structural issues. Sites using overlays still receive ADA demand letters; the FTC fined an overlay vendor $1M in 2025. (FTC, 2025)
