“…Although the newest version of WCAG, the WCAG 2.1 [26,27], was released on 5 June 2018, there is no suitable, efficient automatic test tool based on these guidelines. There has been extensive research dealing with Web accessibility, mainly in the domain of testing the accessibility of governmental websites [28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36] only to conclude that websites are barely accessible and further research is required. Goodwin et al [33] conducted the first global analysis of the Web accessibility of government websites of 192 United Nation Member States almost 9 years ago.…”

The current development of the Internet and its growing use make it necessary to satisfy the needs of users with disabilities. The primary objective of this study is to examine healthcare-related websites in nine European countries in order to evaluate the status of their accessibility. Such a detailed statistical comparison has not yet been made in Europe, especially as the present study offers a dual measurement system combining both the application of automated testing software and statistical analysis of user feedback. The study compares 48 websites from Eastern Europe with 51 sites from Western and Northern Europe. The research phase was performed in three steps: firstly by using AChecker, secondly by Nibbler and subsequently followed by user feedback questionnaires evaluated by a group of experts. The overall goal of this study is to determine the most common accessibility problems and to draw site owners' attention to shortcomings so that they can improve the quality of service of their healthcare-related sites in the future. The investigated European websites are grouped into Eastern and Western-Northern countries. We compared our results from different perspectives and ascertained that no significant differences can be established between the two groups predicated on their respective economic situations. Equally, no correlations were observed while comparing the sizes of web pages in Kbytes, the number of barriers and their Nibbler accessibility scores. Furthermore, there appears to be no correlation between the results of the software tests and the percentage of the elderly population in the respective country.

“…Prior research on website accessibility (e.g., Rubaii-Barrett & Wise, 2008; Youngblood, 2014) suggests that a mandate alone may not lead to adherence, even by government agencies. This study seeks to provide a benchmark for how ready local television news stations are for the changing rules in 2016.…”

In July 2014, the Federal Communications Commission expanded broadcaster requirements for captioning online videos. The new guidelines, which go into effect in January 2016, require broadcasters to caption online clips from shows originally aired with captions. We conducted a content analysis and examined a stratified sample of one fifth of U.S. Designated Market Areas to see how prepared local TV news sites are for the rule changes and how accessible the sites are for users with disabilities. Barely 60% of sites captioned any of the sampled video clips and almost all sites had major accessibility issues.
