The Village of Ossining Implements AudioEye Accessibility Solution for the Village Website

VILLAGE OF OSSINING, NY - The Village of Ossining is committed to ensuring all community members and visitors to Ossining, including people with disabilities, can access Village information. In an effort to increase accessibility and support all who may wish to use our website, we have implemented the AudioEye technology platform on the Village of Ossining’s official website. AudioEye helps websites meet digital compliance guidelines set by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), and other regulations.


AudioEye is an assistive technology that provides a website tool, placed directly on the site, allowing users to customize and enhance their experience. The Ally Toolbar offers the user a visual toolkit to assist users with dyslexic fonts, adjustments to color contrast, font size, navigation, and keyboard controls, amongst other helpful options.


This tool is included on all of our website’s pages. AudioEye toolbar can be activated by selecting the “blue person icon” located at the bottom right-hand side of your screen. The toolbar allows users to customize the site based on their individual preferences, which enhances the usability for all site visitors.


The Village of Ossining's goal is to provide an optimized user experience for all site visitors. Incorporating the AudioEye Certification seal represents a commitment to accessibility and digital inclusion.
