The Accessibility Intelligence Layer for Canvas
Monitor, manage, and improve accessibility across your Canvas courses without ever leaving the platform.
ansrAccess is the Canvas-integrated accessibility platform built for higher education. It combines AI-powered scanning, expert-led remediation, and role-based faculty training in one managed practice, so your institution can make sustainable progress toward evolving WCAG standards and ADA compliance without disrupting teams or overstretching institutional budgets.
Designed around the way your institution already works.
ansrAccess connects to Canvas via LTI, which means installation is fast, your Canvas environment remains exactly as configured, and faculty interact with accessibility tools directly within the course interface they already know.
There are no new platforms to learn, no separate logins to manage, and no IT infrastructure changes required. Administrators access institution-wide accessibility data through a centralized dashboard that works alongside your existing reporting workflows.
Whether you’re managing accessibility for a single department or across a multi-campus institution, ansrAccess scales without adding operational complexity.
What ansrAccess Does
Scan
Real-Time WCAG 2.2 Scanning:
Automatically scans every page, file, and media item against current WCAG standards as content is published or updated
Contextual Accessibility Guidance:
Every issue includes a plain-language explanation, the WCAG criterion it violates, and a clear fix recommendation.
Health Scoring:
Issues are classified by severity — Critical, High, Medium, Low — so your team always knows where to focus first.
Remediate
AI-Powered AutoFix:
Automatically applies validated corrections for the most common issues, such as missing image descriptions, empty links, and improper heading structure.
Expert Escalation:
Content requiring contextual judgment, such as tagged PDFs, STEM diagrams, scanned documents, and audio description, can be escalated to an accessibility remediation team and returned fully validated.
Govern
Accessibility Dashboard:
Institution-wide visibility of accessibility performance across every course, department, and campus.
Compliance Reporting:
Downloadable audit logs for governance reviews, audit preparation, and legal due diligence.
Accessible Alternative Formats:
Students select their preferred format, and accessible versions are generated on demand through tagged PDFs, HTML, EPUB, MP3 audio, and other supported formats without the need for manual accommodation requests.
One platform. Role-specific experiences for every user.
ansrAccess gives every user the view, tools, and guidance relevant to their role. Learners access content in the format that works for them. Educators see their courses and where attention is needed. Administrators see the full picture across their organization. Every experience is designed for mobile and desktop.
Flexible learning, designed to meet the needs of each individual learner.
Learners choose how to engage with course content through accessible formats, improved structure, and easier navigation across the course experience.
Make accessibility a natural part of course design.
Educators, instructors, and content designers can identify issues in real time as they build and update course content and can apply guided or automated fixes directly inside their content environment, making accessibility faster, simpler, and less intimidating.
Institution-wide accessibility visibility from a single dashboard.
Administrators and accessibility leaders can capture the full picture of accessibility performance across every course, department, and campus for leadership reviews, audits, and compliance reporting.
Why ansrAccess?
The Problem with Most Accessibility Tools
Most accessibility tools only show you what is broken. Your team receives a to-do list and is left to work through it – on top of everything else they are already doing.
Compliance scores stall and content remains inaccessible. As a result, learners who need accessible content end up waiting.
ansrAccess was built to close this gap by combining scanning, expert remediation, and role-based upskilling into one managed practice, designed to fit the workflows your team already uses.
