ADA Compliance - Audio Eye

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires certain businesses to make accommodations for people with disabilities. This includes providing web content that is accessible to individuals that may have difficulty interacting with a website.


The AudioEye widget enables Hibu websites to meet the ADA compliance guidelines through a combination of advanced automation technology and human touch.  Plus, AudioEye protects our clients against ADA lawsuits and fines.
