About Table Accessibility Checker

Use Table Accessibility Checker locally to inspect a focused accessibility aspect of pasted HTML.

Does this tool send my data anywhere?

No. Its calculation or transformation happens on your device.

Using Table Accessibility Checker with the right inputs

Check pasted HTML tables for headers and captions. Start by matching your task to the quantities and options shown below. The definitions of the inputs matter as much as the final number or transformed output; retain the original values so that you can repeat or check the result.

Inputs and options explained

  • HTML markup: paste the source text without omitting meaningful spaces, quotation marks or line breaks. Begin with a small representative sample so that you can check the transformation before processing a longer input.

Checking the result

Begin with a small input whose expected result you can check by inspection or a separate calculation. Apply the selected operation, compare the output with that expectation, and then change one input or option at a time. This helps distinguish a change caused by your settings from a difference in the source data.

Interpretation and limitations

Keep a record of the input values and units with the result. Check that the definitions in the form match the question you are trying to answer. Rounding, different conventions and omitted assumptions can explain differences between otherwise similar calculations.

Why might a manual calculation give a different answer?

Compare the entered values, unit conversions, formula conventions and rounding order. Use a simple case you can calculate independently to locate the difference before relying on a complex scenario.

Before you use the output

  • Choose the intended action: Check HTML. Re-run the operation after changing an input or mode so that you are checking the updated result.
  • Read the result label and any accompanying explanation. Keep the input values or source file with the output so that a later comparison uses the same assumptions.
  • If a result looks unexpected, check units, separators and selected options first. Try a smaller example you can verify rather than repeatedly changing several settings at once.

Questions or a result that needs checking?

If you find a discrepancy, report a problem with Table Accessibility Checker. Include a non-sensitive example, the selected options, the result you expected and the result shown. This makes the issue easier to reproduce. See About & privacy for how the site handles tool inputs.
