38.5%
of sued companies already had a 'solution'
According to AudioEye's own 2026 Litigation Report, nearly 40% of sued organisations already had an accessibility widget or toolbar installed. Plaintiffs showed that vital functions, such as checkout, were still unusable. An overlay masks errors; only code repair solves them.
