Cynthia

From Site5Wiki

Cynthia refers to "Cynthia Says", a validator of a website's accessibility to all:

The HiSoftware CynthiaSays portal is a joint Education and Outreach project of HiSoftware, ICDRI, and the Internet Society Disability and Special Needs Chapter.

— contentquality.com

The form at contentquality.com checks your website for accessibility features and problems, on different levels and by different standards. You can check your site according to the standards of Section 508; or WCAG v. 1.0 Priority 1; WCAG v. 1.0 Priority 1 and 2; or WCAG v. 1.0 Priority 1,2, and 3.

You can also use the full options version of this accessibility validation form.

Should you choose to encourage others to validate for accessibility for all, you can also add the Cynthia Says file via HTML to your own site.

Other Section 508 validators:

• University of Illinois' Functional Accessibility Evaluator
• WatchFire's WebXAct — actually shows progress as it scans your site
  • Like Cynthia, WebXAct's form can be added to your own site in order to encourage others to test their own site.
