Remedify vs. AudioEye: runtime overlay vs. real remediation
AudioEye pairs a runtime overlay script with remediation services, so part of the experience still depends on a layer loaded in the shopper's browser.
Remedify keeps the work in your code: it scans, proposes a diff for each issue, and writes approved fixes into the theme — no shopper-side widget required.
| Dimension | Overlay widget | Real, code-level fix |
|---|---|---|
| Where the fix lives | AudioEye injects a JavaScript layer that sits on top of your storefront at runtime; the underlying theme markup is unchanged. | Remedify edits the actual theme and store data — alt text, labels, focus order, contrast — so the correction is in the code itself. |
| What screen readers and keyboards see | Assistive tech reads whatever the script manages to re-write on the fly, which can drift, conflict, or break as a shopper navigates. | Assistive tech reads the corrected, semantic markup directly, because that is what the theme now ships. |
| Auditability | The behaviour is a third-party black box you cannot inspect line by line. | Every change is shown as a before/after diff you approve before it ships, and is kept in a dated remediation record. |
| Storefront performance | Adds a runtime script every shopper downloads and executes on every page. | Adds no runtime widget for shoppers; the fixes are static markup with effectively no load cost. |
| Ownership after you leave | Remove AudioEye and the storefront reverts — the script was doing the work, so nothing underneath improved. | Uninstall Remedify and the corrected markup stays in your theme; you keep the improvements. |
| What we claim | Marketed by some vendors with sweeping accessibility promises that regulators have challenged. | We promise real fixes and a dated, good-faith record of the work — never an outcome or a legal shield. |
The honest difference is ownership: with Remedify, the corrected markup is yours and stays in the theme, backed by a dated record of every change.
