Shadi, I just read: "Once HiSoftware was subsequently bought out, the AccVerify tool was rolled into a larger product offering called Compliance Sheriff. It was later purchased by Cryptzone <https://www.cryptzone.com/>. While it’s *no longer considered an active player in the web accessibility space*, HiSoftware’s contributions to the world of web accessibility won’t soon be forgotten, and in fact inspired later generations of accessibility checkers."
