Accessibility analysis of government web portals of Asian countries
Abstract
Governments in many countries today consider Web portals as excellent means of information dissemination and visibility. The number of electronic services rendered through government web portals is increasing day by day. However, accessibility to these web portals largely depends on their user-friendliness in terms of design, contents, assistive features, and online support. This has enthused researchers to investigate various requirements of web users and suggest guidelines for conformance in order to make a web portal accessible to all. In this work we have analyzed the web portals of fifteen Asian countries under different categories based on the WCAG 2.0 recommendations and also analyzed the performance of four mostly used media players based on UAAG 2.0. The purpose of this study is to bring out the deficiencies in their web portals so that improvements can be made in order to make them more accessible.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
