A free, no-account tool for comparing a software vendor’s VPAT with accessibility standards and identifying reported gaps.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-07 issue.
For
Software buyers assessing vendors’ accessibility documentation
Worth noticing
It reviews vendor claims rather than testing the product; uploaded PDFs go to Gemini, whose free tier may use them for product improvement.

Field notes

The page lays out a three-step workflow: provide a public VPAT, choose a comparison standard, and review reported gaps with a suggested action plan. Its upload guidance caps PDFs at 4 MB and 150 pages and warns against submitting confidential documents. The disclosure says files sent through Google’s free Gemini tier may be used to improve Google products; users supplying their own key can instead be billed at that provider’s prices.
