- Checking and Scoring: Ally checks for common accessibility issues by running the file content through an automated accessibility checklist in real-time, going from high-level checks to very fine-grained checks. It also has a number of additional accessibility checks to target usability and quality of the course content, and uses a set of Machine Learning Algorithms to determine how structured and readable the content is and to give an accessibility score to the file.
- Built-in Feedback: Ally helps instructors to become aware of how accessible their content is and what some of the accessibility issues are, as well as getting detailed guidance on how they can fix these issues, all within the context of the Learning Management System. That way, instructors can keep fixing issues up to making the content more accessible.
- Alternative Formats Generation: Ally automatically generates a number of alternatives of the content for learners that support their learning preferences, so they can consume digital content on its original format or get it on their preferred alternative format. All this based on the output of the accessibility checklist and based on the output from the Machine Learning Algorithms.
