Guiding Paws ICT is proud to partner with cutting-edge accessible technology companies.

accessiBe is a technology company working to solve challenges of web accessibility through AI. accessiBe’s Accessibility Widget allows businesses of all sizes to have a website that’s WCAG & ADA Compliant without having to make code changes every time content is added or edited.

The widget allows visitors to choose profiles or customize settings that make browsing more user friendly for them. The profiles aren’t just for low vision or blind visitors; they also include options like Seizure Safe, ADHD Friendly, Cognitive Disability, and Keyboard Navigation. Visitors can also select specific website contents that they want to adjust to suit their needs, like colors, font face and size, and cursor style.

Accessibility Widget is very simple to install, with just one line of code for your developer to copy and paste. Alternatively, they can install a plugin if your site runs on WordPress.

Aira is an app that connects people who are blind or low vision to professional visual interpreters for secure access to visual information, anytime, anywhere.

Organizations who value accessibility and inclusivity partner with Aira to offer the app for free to their employees, students, and customers.

NaviLens is an app that reads NaviLens color box codes (similar to simplified QR codes) to help blind and low vision people navigate around unfamiliar places. Users are able to interact more easily with their environment and experience improved accessibility in places such as subway stations, bus stops and museums or public buildings.

Blind and low vision users don’t need to know precisely where the codes are placed. They just scan with their mobile camera and get the necessary information contextualized. The app reads the color box code and then provides the necessary information about the tag itself (distance, angle) and about the target to be reached.
