The Problem

Static Scans Are Just the Starting Point

Code scanners find missing labels and contrast issues. But they cannot show you a blind user getting trapped in a cookie modal, unable to dismiss it. They cannot prove your checkout actually works. Our reports include full static scan results alongside video evidence of real screen reader navigation.

How It Works

Comprehensive Testing

Our system navigates your website exactly like a blind user would, using real screen reader software. Every report combines static analysis results with video evidence of actual screen reader testing.

  1. Real Screen Reader Navigation

    Our system uses actual VoiceOver screen reader software to navigate your site. No DOM simulation or code analysis. We experience your site the way real users do.

  2. Transaction Verification

    We prove that critical flows actually work: checkouts, logins, forms, and multi-step processes. These are the issues static scanners cannot test.

  3. Expert-Validated Reports

    Human accessibility specialists review all findings. Every report includes actionable fixes with code examples and priority rankings.

The Technology

i11y: Built to Navigate Like a Blind User

Our testing system is purpose-built to navigate websites exactly as a blind person would, using real screen reader software.

  • Real screen reader - Uses actual VoiceOver on macOS, not browser simulations
  • Cannot see the screen - Only receives audio announcements, exactly like a blind user
  • Keyboard navigation only - No mouse, no clicking by coordinates, just keyboard commands
  • Video evidence - Every test is recorded showing exactly what the screen reader experienced
  • Trained on WCAG - Comprehensive knowledge of all accessibility criteria and how to test them

Three Ways to Test Accessibility

Static scanners are fast but shallow. Manual audits are thorough but slow and expensive. Sentium delivers the best of both.

Capability Static Scanners Manual Audits Sentium
Testing Method Scans code patterns Human testers navigate site i11y uses real screen readers
Screen Reader Testing Estimated from code Manual, varies by tester Real VoiceOver, every test
Transaction Flows Cannot test Tested but time-intensive Automated end-to-end verification
WCAG Coverage 30 to 40% of criteria Depends on auditor expertise Functional criteria focus
Delivery Time Instant 2 to 4 weeks 72 hours
Cost Low (often free) High ($5,000+) Fraction of manual audit cost
Evidence Format Code snippets and rule IDs Written reports Video + written report

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from automated scanning tools?

Automated scanners like Axe, WAVE, or Lighthouse analyze code patterns and can catch about 30 to 40% of accessibility issues. We include these static scan results in every report, but we go further: the i11y system uses a real screen reader (VoiceOver) to navigate your site exactly like a blind user would. This lets us verify that checkout flows, forms, and navigation actually work in practice, and provide video evidence of the experience.

What is i11y?

i11y is a proprietary accessibility testing system that Sentium uses exclusively. Unlike tools that simulate screen readers, i11y operates actual VoiceOver software, receiving only audio output and sending only keyboard commands. This produces authentic evidence of what blind users actually experience.

How fast can you deliver results?

Standard delivery is 72 hours. For urgent situations, contact us and we'll work with your timeline.

What do you deliver?

You receive a comprehensive report that includes: full static scan results (code-level issues like missing labels, contrast problems), functional testing findings from real screen reader navigation, WCAG criteria mapping, severity rankings, and actionable fix recommendations with code examples. All audits include video evidence showing the actual screen reader experience. VPAT deliverables follow the ITI VPAT 2.4 format accepted by federal procurement.

Can your reports be used in legal proceedings?

Yes. Our Defense Audit reports are specifically designed for litigation support. They include video evidence of screen reader testing, timestamped findings, and can validate or refute specific plaintiff claims. Expert witness support is available if needed.

What does a VPAT include?

Our VPATs follow the ITI VPAT 2.4 format and include WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance testing with detailed remarks for each criterion. This is the format accepted by US federal procurement and most enterprise procurement processes.

Do you offer ongoing monitoring?

Yes. After an initial audit, we can set up ongoing monitoring to catch regressions as your site evolves. This is especially valuable for development teams shipping frequent updates. Contact us for custom monitoring packages.
