About
Equal access is the law's actual goal.
WCAG was written in 1999 because assistive tech could only parse HTML literally. Today, multimodal AI can look at a page and mediate it for any user — bypassing the decade of refactors customers used to need to be ADA-compliant.
Wholisphere is building the infrastructure for that shift. Our agent is a screen reader, a voice navigator, a captioner, a content simplifier, and a focus enhancer — coexisting with native assistive tech, not replacing it. Site owners get equal access without the rewrite, and an honest conformance report to back it up.
Our principles
- Honesty over claims. We never say a site is WCAG-compliant because of our agent. We deliver access, and we report what we delivered.
- Coexistence over replacement. Our widget is a landmark. Screen-reader users find it via standard navigation and choose what to engage with.
- Audit trail by default. Every agent action is logged. Customers can hand a court the JSON.
- The disability community shapes the product. We pay disabled testers from day one (Fable.tech), partner with disability creators on positioning, and submit our work to W3C/WAI for review.
- The widget itself is AAA. Our accessibility tool can never be the worst accessibility on the page.
Standards we follow
- WCAG 2.2 Level A + AA (full coverage; AAA opt-in for federal RFPs)
- EN 301 549 (EU)
- Section 508 (US federal)
- W3C ACT Rules (auditor-trusted automated test rules)
