What a generic tool generates Vague · Missing data
→ Someone who can't see the screen only hears "bar chart." The information inside the image isn't getting through — that's exactly the problem.

Why Does It Keep Getting Flagged?
Web accessibility lawsuits filed in the US in a single year. The most common finding in audit reports: missing or inadequate image alt text.
Sites that still received accessibility complaints after installing an overlay widget. Widgets cover the page — they don't change the information inside images.
That's what a generic AI tool writes for a data chart image. Screen reader users get almost no actual information.
A11Y helps you properly implement image alt text to WCAG 2.2 standards. Image descriptions are one of the first items checked in an accessibility audit.
An honest comparison
Fastest isn't always the right answer. What gets flagged in complaints is usually "the information inside images isn't coming through" — and a one-line summary or auto-overlay won't fix that.

Two things matter.
A11Y is built for both. Other tools may lead on speed of site-wide coverage,
but if your goal is to fix it properly and leave evidence, A11Y is the better fit. (No tool can completely prevent a lawsuit.)
