GitHub Accessibility Scanner
summary
GitHub unveils a free, open-source AI accessibility scanner integrated into repositories that uses axe-core and a new plugin architecture to find web barriers, auto-creates GitHub issues (formatted for human and AI), and by default assigns those issues to GitHub Copilot which generates proposed fixes for human review; separately a GitHub Copilot CLI–based blind-native video editing toolset analyzes raw footage, returns timestamped highlights, enables cuts, voiceovers and burned captions and it works in real projects (gh.io/a11y-scanner).
