Disclaimer

Access Check finds common problems in your document. It does not tell you that the document conforms, or what the law requires of you.

• Not a conformance certification. The add-on checks only what the Google Docs and Slides add-on API exposes. Some requirements cannot be read by any add-on (document language, pinned table header rows, alt text of floating images, reading order, captions, PDF tags), and some need human judgement (is the alt text meaningful, does colour alone carry meaning). A document with no issues in Access Check can still fail WCAG 2.1.
• Not legal advice. Dates and scope on this site are copied from the Federal Register with a link to each source (DOJ 2026-07663, HHS 2026-09266). Whether a document is covered, or falls under an exception, depends on facts the add-on cannot see. Ask your counsel or ADA coordinator.
• Heuristics can be wrong. “Looks like a heading”, “check reading order” and similar items are suggestions marked “Check yourself”. Contrast is measured from the colours Google reports; text over pictures or theme colours is flagged for review instead of measured.
• Not affiliated with Google, the U.S. Department of Justice, HHS or W3C.
