AudioEye grows outreach and advocacy
team
TUCSON,
Ariz., Oct. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
Today,
AudioEye (NASDAQ: AEYE), an
industry-leading SaaS accessibility platform delivering website
accessibility compliance to businesses of all sizes, celebrates the
first anniversary of the AudioEye A11iance. The
A11iance is a community-based initiative that brings people with
disabilities to the forefront of product development and advocacy
to remove all barriers to digital access.
AudioEye A11iance offers individuals with disabilities various
employment and engagement opportunities, including testing, quality
assurance, training, and education. In the A11iance's inaugural
year, 76 members tested more than 900 AudioEye customer websites,
providing critical feedback and helping solve accessibility errors
detected by the AudioEye platform.
"The A11iance team has been an incredible opportunity for me to
leverage my lived experience as an assistive technology user and to
grow my knowledge of digital accessibility," says Charles Hiser, A11iance Member & QA Tester,
Digital Accessibility & AT Specialist. "Over the past year, I
have tested over 170 sites, reported more than 1,300 bugs, and
gained a comprehensive understanding of the Web Content
Accessibility Guidelines. I am so grateful to AudioEye, and my
A11iance team colleagues, for being a part of this chapter of my
professional journey."
To provide customers with more learning opportunities and
continue to raise awareness of the role of technology in closing
the digital accessibility gap, AudioEye hired Itto Outtini as
Accessibility Outreach Manager and Mariella Paulino-Peralta as Advocacy and Social
Media Manager. Ms. Outtini and Ms. Paulino-Peralta bring years of
personal and professional experience as accessibility and inclusion
advocates.
"In order to create a truly level playing field where those of
us with disabilities can participate as equals in remote work,
online culture, public discourse, and more, we must begin to take
digital accessibility seriously," says Itto Outtini, AudioEye
Accessibility Outreach Manager and Founder & Representative of
Fulbrighters with Disabilities. "Currently, most organizations
striving for accessibility compliance do so for fear of litigation.
I want this to change. I joined AudioEye to speak to the value of
digital accessibility for the larger society. I believe in the
power of knowledge, technology, and human connection, and I look
forward to making more difference."
