Checking for accessibility is a critical step to ensure content meets the required digital accessibility standards and works for everyone. Before publishing or sharing content, always check it by using both automatic checkers and manually reviewing with human judgement and assistive technologies.

A table is a grid of cells arranged in rows and columns that organizes information. If they are not formatted correctly, tables can pose accessibility issues because screen readers often read them in a linear order, which can make the information confusing.

A screenshot is an image that captures what is on the screen of a computer or mobile device. Screenshots are sometimes found in instructional content. Screenshots create accessibility barriers because they contain text and information as images, which screen readers and other assistive technologies cannot interpret.

Lists organize related information into a clear structure, improving readability and navigation. They also provide semantic cues that assistive technologies can recognize, helping screen reader users understand relationships and navigate efficiently.

Links are clickable elements in documents or websites that lead to another resource. Screen reader users often navigate by jumping from link to link, so they may only hear the link text without surrounding context. Clear, descriptive links improve navigation for everyone.

Headings provide a structural hierarchy in documents and websites. Properly structured headings help all readers navigate documents efficiently. Visual readers rely on heading appearance to scan content, while screen reader users depend on programmatic heading structure to jump between sections.

A file name is the label given to a file when it's saved on a computer or in a shared drive. Using descriptive file names formatted correctly helps all users, especially those using assistive technologies, quickly find files and understand what a document contains.

A document title is the official name of the document stored in its metadata and displayed in the title bar when the file is opened in applications like Word and Adobe Acrobat reader. It helps all users quickly understand what a document is about.

Color contrast ensures that text and images of text are visually distinguishable for users, including those with low vision. Meeting this requirement improves readability and accessibility across digital content.

Captions display dialogue, music, and sound effects in written format on videos. Transcripts provide a text version of audio-only or video-only content, such as podcasts and animations. Captions and transcripts make audio and video content accessible to people who are deaf or hard of hearing and benefit anyone who cannot listen to audio.

Alternative text (alt text) describes the meaning or function of an image so people using assistive technologies, like screen readers, can understand its purpose. Alt text also benefits users with slow internet connections and supports SEO and other technical uses.

To make digital content accessible to everyone, the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) define four core principles represented by the acronym POUR.
