Abstract
Accessibility to the Web for the blind and visually impaired is an issue that has become more significant since the introduction of direct manipulation interfaces. The problem can be approached with respect to two complementary points of view: it is possible to act at the beginning of the process, during the creation phase of web pages or it is equally possible to act at the end of the process, on the web pages that already exist. Our contribution to the subject of accessibility is based on the latter point of view. In this document, we will describe an accessibility evaluation tool with a corrective function, based on the following principles: the implementation of a syntactic analysis of html pages, the execution of a first series of accessibility rules based on the document generated by XML, the execution of a second series of more complex rules with the ability to be enriched by the rule server, the production of a report adapted for the user and the continual management of the implementation phase.
