TUSCON, Ariz., Nov. 6, 2019
/PRNewswire/ -- As companies strive to embrace digital
accessibility, AudioEye, Inc. (NASDAQ: AEYE), the leader in
digital accessibility, today unveiled AudioEye Digital
Marketplace, enabling companies of all sizes to accelerate
accessibility easily and affordably. The machine learning powered
platform helps companies achieve digital inclusion standards and
meet legal requirements.
The company today introduced AudioEye Free and AudioEye Pro,
which join market-leading AudioEye Managed in the AudioEye Digital
Marketplace, a new suite of digital accessibility commerce and
machine-learning solutions for all price points.
AudioEye is powered by patented dynamic remediation technology
that streamlines the digital accessibility process by evaluating,
analyzing and repairing massive amounts of digital content.
AudioEye's real-time monitoring systems run over 360 core
accessibility tests, against more than 1,500,000 unique pages each
week. That system has catalogued well over a trillion individual
issues of accessibility, and it tracks the delivery of nearly 40
million individual remediations. AudioEye automatically evaluates
and dynamically adjusts website content to be accessible.
- AudioEye Free goes beyond manual surface-level
testing, prevalent in the product category today. The "Plug and
Play" product enables website managers to use a simple
browser-agnostic tool to immediately identify, evaluate, and
remediate WCAG violations. Website managers are able to make
smart accessibility fixes to every page visually on their website
and publish those changes without having to edit the source code,
saving substantial time and resources.
- AudioEye Pro expands on AudioEye Free with
automated accessibility remediations, our AudioEye Toolbar,
continuous monitoring and an accessibility statement for modern
Content Management Systems including Wordpress, Wix.com, Weebly,
Shopify, Drupal, Squarespace, and more with machine learning built
from years of experience. Designed for small and medium businesses,
AudioEye Pro provides access to a 24/7 Help Desk that offers
continuous accessibility support for designers and developers.
Reported issues are directed to subject matter experts who are
empowered to take action and address issues that are impacting real
users. Starting at $12.99 per month,
AudioEye Pro removes any cost barrier for companies who wish to
make their website digitally accessible.
- AudioEye Managed (formerly known as Ally Managed
Service) offers a fully managed solution that provides a
comprehensive speed-to-compliance service, manual testing services
with a sustainable testing and remediation plan with an
Accessibility Warranty. AudioEye Managed is trusted by an unrivaled
collection of some of the largest and most influential
organizations, agencies, and enterprises in the world,
including Samsung, ADP, the Federal Communications Commission,
and Uber.
"Digital accessibility is a business imperative and one that
enables companies to expand their customer base while adhering to
legal compliance requirements and doing the right thing," said
Sean Bradley, Co-Founder, President
and Chief Strategy Officer, AudioEye. "Accessibility no longer has
to be challenging. AudioEye's patented self-service or managed
solutions help small companies to multinational enterprises by
providing the technology and supporting professional services to
enable their digital accessibility journey."
According to Forrester Research, there is a significant business
opportunity considering that individuals with disabilities
worldwide have more than $1.2
trillion in disposable income. More than a million new
websites are active daily, representing commerce, jobs, and key
parts of everyday life, and yet, despite the ever-growing digital
world, digital accessibility on the web is not improving. Many
current and new websites are not WCAG compliant and exclude
individuals using assistive technology. AudioEye's mission is to
eradicate these access barriers, bringing thousands of new sites
into compliance and, through a perpetual combination of
technological and human-based oversight from AudioEye, supporting
them into the future as the standards and regulations continue to
evolve.
"Achieving digital accessibility for all is the right thing to
do and an integral part of our digital inclusion strategy," said
Greg Evans, Vice President at
Simpleview, the company that powers hundreds of Destination
Marketing Organizations worldwide. "AudioEye's new marketplace
offerings stands to benefit an even greater number of
destination marketing organizations and their stakeholders -
hotels, restaurants and attractions - in their effort to make their
digital content more accessible to all users, including people with
disabilities."
Team AudioEye, Advocacy Program for Developers, Designers,
and Agencies
The company also launched Team AudioEye, a new
advocacy program for digital professionals to accelerate digital
accessibility by helping developers and web designers create
accessible experiences for the web and helping further digital
accessibility awareness.

implementers and advocates who are dedicated to the eradication of
