Collapse ▲NC State’s Office of Information Technology recently shared NC State’s Top Five Web Accessibility Issues. We clearly have a lot of work to do, but creating digital content with accessibility in mind doesn’t have to be so difficult. There are lots of tools you can use to simplify things!
Try out some of these tools:
Google Chrome Extensions:
Add these tools to your internet browser for easy access!
- Color Contrast Analyzer: Add the Color Contrast Analyzer to quickly evaluate a page or section of a page for contrast issues.
- Grackle Docs/Sheets/Slides: Install the Grackle add-on to your Google Chrome browser to easily run accessibility checks on your Google Docs, Google Sheets, or Google Slides.

Wave Toolbar: Add the web accessibility evaluation tool to Chrome to quickly assess any site for accessibility issues
Canva Accessibility Checker
When working in Canva, check each design you make by going to “File,” selecting “Accessibility,” and then “Check Design Accessibility.” Keep in mind that some elements, such as Alt-Text, may not transfer when you convert file types. If you convert to PDF or share a Canva-created image on social media, you’ll still need to ensure key details are available in plain text.
Microsoft Accessibility Checker
Word, Excel, and PowerPoint all have built-in accessibility tools. Under the Review Tab, run the Accessibility Checker.

Remember: Accessibility checkers will help you identify issues with accessibility, but many elements require human consideration and review.
