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

\"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).
