Accessmonkey

Accessmonkey was a 2007 client-side scripting framework, built on Greasemonkey for Mozilla Firefox, that let users and developers run site-specific JavaScript to repair inaccessible web pages on the fly. Scripts could add alternative text, restructure pages, or inject accessibility metadata without waiting for the site owner to make changes. Accessmonkey was an early example of community-driven accessibility remediation and a direct conceptual predecessor to today's accessibility browser extensions and the more controversial commercial 'accessibility overlay' services. Introduced by Bigham and Ladner at W4A 2007, it is historically important as one of the first frameworks to make user-side accessibility repair practical.
