Expert-led, manual accessibility testing across desktop and mobile environments, shaped around your product, people and priorities.
We test how digital experiences actually work with assistive technologies: how people navigate, interact, understand content, complete tasks and use services independently.
Automated accessibility scanners are useful, but cannot reliably identify every interaction barrier. Our manual assistive technology testing combines technical accessibility knowledge with hands-on testing to investigate issues that automated checks and compliance checklists can miss.
Enquire About an Assistive Technology Health CheckA focused manual assessment of a specific page, component, feature or user journey. Identify immediate accessibility concerns and opportunities for improvement without commissioning a full accessibility audit.
A deeper investigation across selected journeys, assistive technologies, devices and operating systems. We investigate how and why barriers occur, identify patterns and provide actionable technical findings.
Regular manual testing can be incorporated into product development, release cycles or continuous improvement programmes to identify emerging barriers and validate improvements over time.
Testing is scoped to your users, journeys and products. Our manual accessibility testing can cover a range of built-in and third-party assistive technologies; findings may vary between browsers, operating systems, devices and technology combinations.
Depending on the agreed scope, health checks can cover Windows PCs, Apple Mac computers, iPhone and iPad, Android smartphones and tablets, desktop and mobile websites, responsive web applications, and native mobile applications.
We can manually evaluate how digital experiences behave with accessibility features built into Apple devices, including VoiceOver, Voice Control, Zoom, Switch Control and other relevant accessibility settings.
These are Apple accessibility and assistive technology compatibility checks, not Apple device diagnostics or battery health checks. We focus on whether digital content and interactions work with the selected accessibility features.
Manual testing investigates how barriers emerge through real interactions and combinations of interface behaviours, not just isolated defects.
We interact directly with digital services using assistive technologies rather than relying exclusively on automated accessibility scanning.
We evaluate how people navigate, interact with and complete meaningful tasks across the agreed digital experience.
Accessibility expertise helps investigate behaviour, identify likely causes and make practical recommendations aligned with relevant standards, including WCAG 2.2 AA.
Findings can record user impact, reproduction steps, assistive technology and environment details, with supporting evidence and recommendations for delivery teams.
Outputs are agreed to fit the scope and audience. Depending on the engagement, they may include:
Broader, systematic technical assessments against an agreed standard and scope. A focused health check can complement a full accessibility audit.
Research with disabled and neurodivergent participants brings lived experience into the evaluation. Explore our Inclusive Research & Disabled-User Testing service.
Specialist assistive technology health checks complement these services. They are not a substitute for lived-experience research or a complete WCAG conformance audit.
