Eye-Able® Assist: The assistance software for all

The assistant software is data protection compliant and has been tested several times for this. Through the various integration options, such as local hosting, you use the assistant without any outgoing connections.

The software is developed by people with disabilities together with us, we follow an inclusive development approach and put the users in the focus of the software. Thus, challenges in the operation of websites were researched in usability labs. This was the basis for the functional design. The solutions generated from the problems, such as the contrast mode, were then tested again scientifically. Today we can call various German institutes for the blind our partners, there our software is in daily use and provides important insights. Thus, we are constantly developing the assistance software further.

You can integrate the assistance software within a few minutes and you don't need to customize your web interface for it. You will only receive a two-line code, which you have to copy and paste into the header area of the interface. The rest is done by the Eye-Able® team.

The wizard has no negative impact on your performance. All scripts load asynchronously and are optimized not to affect the page.

System-wide functions are often not "accessible" for people with visual impairments. For example, the initial setting is hidden in submenus, which usually cannot be made without help. Browser and system-wide functions additionally cannot be perfectly adapted to a specific website. The assistance software is manually adapted to each of our customer sites.

Basically, the wizard can be integrated into any system that can map JavaScript. You can integrate the code in the following ways:
1: Integration via Eye-Able-CDN (server in EU, DSGVO compliant).
2: Dynamic reloading (content will be "reloaded" only after click on software)
3 : Local integration of software - software is "installed" or stored on own web server

We developed the assistant together with people with disabilities (e.g., users with up to 5% residual vision). They determined the position, appearance, and usability of the software through interviews and test results. We are constantly improving the assistant through further research to ensure accessibility and beneficial new functions.

You can completely customize the Accessibility Assistant. Colors, icons and functionality can be customized to your use case and CI. This does not require any programming on your part.

You can host the wizard on your own servers. The effort for this is low: you can find the installation and configuration files in the Dashboard.

No, with Eye-Able Assist some regulations can already be met, but BITV and other laws require the implementation of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).

WCAG errors can be detected with our auditing software Eye-Able® Audit. The software audits the code of your website according to standards of WCAG 2.1. You can see which standards you do not quite reach yet and you can fix your deficiencies easily and understandably with instructions.

Users do not have to constantly reset the wizard. After initial configuration, the information is stored in the local storage on the browser side and is then applied directly the next time the user visits a website. Settings can also be shared across multiple domains.
