Evinced Unleashes New Tools for Improved Digital Accessibility

Evinced, a frontrunner in providing accessible web and mobile development solutions, has made a significant stride towards enhancing digital accessibility in coding environments. Recently, the company introduced two revolutionary tools specifically designed for developers, aimed at addressing the ongoing challenges in making digital platforms accessible to individuals with disabilities.

A Game-Changing Approach to Accessibility

The newly launched tools are the Evinced MCP Tools and the Evinced Chatbot. These resources empower developers, even those lacking substantial training in accessibility, to integrate accessibility measures into their code with minimal effort. This initiative is crucial, considering that a significant number of websites and mobile applications continue to be difficult to access for individuals with disabilities.

When utilizing Evinced MCP Tools, developers can leverage AI-driven systems like Cursor and GitHub Copilot, which have surged in popularity for their ability to streamline the coding process. However, while such tools are adept at generating code, they often fail to ensure accessibility, as they are trained on databases that may include inaccessible code. Evinced’s MCP Tools aim to fill this gap by embedding accessibility protocols directly into these AI systems.

The MCP Tools enable developers to:

• - Plan: Developers can request guidance regarding accessibility before they commence coding. This real-time advice ensures that accessibility is considered from the initial stages of development.
• - Build: By providing tailored recommendations for the specific programming language in use, the tools help developers write accessible code efficiently.
• - Test: Once the code has been drafted, Evinced automatically performs an accessibility analysis in a programmatically-launched browser. It generates a prioritized list of accessibility issues, facilitating prompt fixes.
• - Fix: The AI system can attempt modifications and re-check the code until it meets Evinced's accessibility standards, which are denoted as #EvincedClear. The entire process is rapid, taking mere minutes and requiring little to no prior knowledge of accessibility from the developers.

Integrating Accessibility into Existing Workflows

Aware that not all organizations are utilizing AI coding aids, Evinced also launched the Evinced Chatbot—a practical solution for teams still relying on traditional coding methods. The Chatbot integrates seamlessly into the Visual Studio Code (VS Code) development environment, providing on-the-spot answers regarding accessibility concerns right where coding is taking place. Additionally, it can review existing code and propose specific modifications tailored to the developer's project language.

Security is a priority with Evinced's offerings. The Chatbot adheres to SOC 2 Type 2 security standards and can be customized to align with an organization’s specific accessibility guidelines, offering a reliable solution for companies committed to inclusive design.

Proven Effectiveness

Evinced's efforts in enhancing accessibility tools are not just theoretical; they have been put to the test. In blind benchmark tests conducted in the fall of 2024, evaluations showed that users preferred Evinced Chatbot responses over the leading general-purpose AI, ChatGPT 4, by a factor of three. Furthermore, in summer 2025, testing with various AI coding tools demonstrated that Evinced outperformed competitors by five times when tasked with creating common web components.

For Navin Thadani, co-founder and CEO of Evinced, this launch represents a turning point. “Since our inception in 2018, our mission has been to eliminate accessibility issues from the coding process entirely. Now, even developers with minimal accessibility training can correct the course of accessibility challenges, benefiting millions.”

By integrating extensive accessibility expertise into practical, easy-to-use tools, Evinced is positioning itself as a pioneer in AI-driven digital accessibility. As the industry leader, the company remains focused on expanding its influence and developing tools to aid organizations in their journey towards inclusivity.
