Accessibility Checker

Accessibility Checker is a Google Docs add-on. It checks the document you have open against WCAG 2.1 Level AA and takes you to the exact paragraph, table or image that fails.

Free for 20 checks a month. No card, no sales call, no quote.
The Accessibility Checker sidebar open beside a council minutes document in Google
                Docs, listing five issues. The first is blocking: a data table with no recognizable

Why this one

Other checkers give you a score. This one gives you the cursor.

Click any finding and you land on the exact table that failed, selected — with its WCAG criterion, ready to paste into a compliance record.

After clicking Take me there, the budget table in the document is selected and
                  highlighted, and the sidebar link now reads Found it.
One click → the element is selected in your document.
The same document after the fixes, with a green panel in the sidebar reading
                  No issues found, this document passes the automated checks.
And when it is clean, it says so.

What it checks

Ten failures, cited by criterion

The deadline

If you work at a school district, this is about you

Public school districts are covered, and most of them do not get the 2028 extension. 1,422 are due April 26, 2027.

Look up your district in the Census file the rule itself points to.

Where those numbers come from

The Department of Justice lists “public schools, community colleges, and public universities” among the governments subject to Title II. And 28 CFR 35.104 defines a special district government as a public entity “other than a county, municipality, township, or independent school district” — so a district is judged by its population, and the rule says that population is the Census Bureau’s Small Area Income and Poverty Estimate. Counted from that file: 1,422 districts at 50,000 or more, 11,721 below, due April 26, 2028. It covers everything you publish — minutes, agendas, budgets, board packets, family handbooks.

Questions

Before you install

Does this make my documents legally compliant?

No, and be careful with anyone who says otherwise. No automated tool can determine legal compliance. This finds the common, mechanical failures fast, so your people spend their time on the ones that need a person.

Does our document leave Google?

Never. The checks run on Google’s own servers inside your document’s session. We do not receive, read, copy or store the content of your documents, and we do not train any model on them. It asks for four permissions, none of which Google classes as sensitive or restricted: documents.currentonly to read the structure of the open document and move your cursor, script.container.ui to show the sidebar, script.external_request to ask our licence server about your subscription, and userinfo.email so it knows which subscription to look up. Full detail in the Privacy Policy.

Can our Workspace administrator install it for everyone?

Yes. An administrator can deploy it to the whole domain or to a single organizational unit from the admin console. Nobody has to install it individually.

How do we pay? We cannot run a purchase order in two weeks.

Card, at checkout, in about a minute. Both paid plans sit under the micro-purchase threshold at most public entities, so it usually does not go through procurement at all.
