About PointCheck
PointCheck is a WCAG 2.1 Level AA accessibility tester built by Brendan Works.
Most automated accessibility tools — Axe, Lighthouse, browser extensions — work by inspecting the DOM. They can tell you if an image is missing alt text or if a button lacks an accessible name. What they can't do is look at the page the way a human eye would.
PointCheck uses Allen AI's Molmo2 vision-language model to visually confirm whether focus indicators are actually visible — the kind of check that requires seeing the rendered page, not parsing its markup. This catches real failures that DOM-inspection tools miss entirely.
The rest of the test suite covers keyboard navigation, 200% zoom reflow, color-blindness simulation, form error handling, and a broad page structure check. Results are narrated in plain English by Allen AI's OLMo2 language model.
