What Fable Engage is
Fable Engage is a web platform for accessibility research and testing with people with disabilities. Teams can study websites, web apps, desktop and mobile apps, software, PDFs, and prototypes. Available methods include self-guided tasks, compatibility tests, interviews, prototype reviews, QA sessions, focus groups, and surveys; some require annual plans or paid add-ons. Participant filters include accommodation type, technical setup, location, and other demographic or behavioral traits. Results may include video clips, transcripts, shareable links, reports, and Accessible Usability Scale scores. Engage supports WCAG 2.1, manual review, mobile testing, and remediation guidance. Integrations include Figma and Jira, with a Figma widget for placing feedback in Figma files or FigJam boards. Fable lists ISO/IEC 27001:2022, SOC 2 Type 2, GDPR, SCC, Microsoft SSPA, and PIPEDA compliance. A free account is available, while the Pay-per-project plan is listed at $3,750. Firewall or VPN content is unsupported, and PDFs do not receive general document-remediation workflows.
