AI for Accessible Websites
Tallence AG and researchers from Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences develop an AI solution for website accessibility
Highlights, Press Releases // Apr 27, 2026
Hamburg, May 4, 2026. In collaboration with researchers from Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences, Tallence AG introduces a new AI-based solution that enables companies to continuously and comprehensively assess the digital accessibility of their websites at the push of a button. Developed as part of a research project, the application automatically identifies issues related to accessibility standards, provides concrete recommendations for improvement, and delivers corrected code. The solution is directly integrated into the web application development process.
“Ensuring accessibility on the internet is now a categorical imperative that has been enshrined in legislation. For us, enabling people with disabilities to fully access information and applications is a matter close to our hearts. With our AI solution, website operators can automatically test their sites and applications. They receive concrete implementation recommendations directly in the code, which can be applied immediately,” says Michael Gniffke, Delivery Director at Tallence AG.
Since June 2025, the German Accessibility Strengthening Act (BFSG) has required a large number of companies to make their digital offerings accessible, ensuring equal access for users with visual impairments, blindness, color vision deficiencies, as well as for elderly users. This creates a clear need for action - particularly to avoid legal consequences.
At the same time, many companies face the challenge of implementing accessibility efficiently without slowing down development processes. Tallence’s AI solution, which is already market-ready, addresses both aspects. It is designed for website operators, agencies, and hosting providers. The latter could offer the tool directly at the point of website purchase, ensuring accessibility from the outset.
Automated testing saves time, reduces manual effort, and increases legal certainty.
Research Collaboration
The solution was developed as part of a practice-oriented project in which researchers from Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences worked closely with Tallence AG. The shared goal was to create a practical solution that companies can use directly.
The collaboration combines academic expertise in accessibility standards with Tallence’s extensive experience in web development and consulting.
