# Create an accessible widget

> Use the accessibility checker in the Widget Studio to detect and fix accessibility issues and build widgets compliant with WCAG 2.1 AA.

<Note>
  The accessibility checker is currently available to beta users only.
</Note>

Visitors who rely on screen readers or keyboard navigation can run into real barriers in a widget: an element with no accessible name, text that fails contrast requirements, and a control with no visible boundary. The Widget Studio's accessibility checker scans your widget for issues like these and evaluates them against the [WCAG 2.1 AA](https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/) standard, giving you a chance to resolve them before the widget goes live. Run the check at any point while you build the widget.

## Check your widget's accessibility

To check your widget's accessibility, click the **accessibility icon** in the Widget Studio header. Kameleoon detects and lists the accessibility issues found in your widget.

## Fix accessibility issues

You can fix the detected issues in two ways:

* **Fix all with AI**: Kameleoon automatically resolves all listed issues.
* **Edit elements manually**: Select an affected element in the list and edit it yourself.

## Add ARIA labels

To help screen readers identify the purpose of each element, use the **ARIA label** property in the edit sidebar. Enter a short description of what the element does, such as "Close the pop-in" for a close button.

## Check accessibility before activation

When you activate your widget, a pop-up reminds you to check its accessibility. Run the accessibility checker before activating your widget to confirm it meets the WCAG 2.1 AA standard.
