* HOME PAGE: http://www.wave.webaim.org/wave/index.jsp

* RELEASE DATE:

(YYYY-MM-DD format)

* DESCRIPTION: (200 characters maximum)

A tool that helps people perform those tasks that require human judgment

(e.g. \"Does this ALT text a functional equivalent for this image?\"

\"Does this reading order make sense?\"). The Wave displays the ALT text

of images and AREAS on the page for comparison with the images, provides

numbered arrows to show the linearized reading order, and shows the HTML

equivalent (if any) provided for applets. The Wave performs automatic

checks (detects missing or suspicious ALT text).
