We are in this process as well. We use SiteImprove to track problems (and their Chrome add-on for spot checking). I find this tool is more user friendly than some of the others out there.
Dragon transcription for generating transcripts for our audio content. We try to upload video to YouTube because they make it easy-ish to create closed captioning. We use the color contrast checker: http://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/ Most of our work is just slow forward movement; knowing what needs to be done and doing it. I wish there were more magic bullets! :) There's a very good list of Accessibility tutorials here: https://github.com/mgifford/a11y-courses and I'd encourage anyone who is interested to take courses. There's so much more to Accessibility than Screen readers.

We've used the WAVE tool to spot issues, but were curious what kinds of software or tests others are using to evaluate the accessibility of digital content? Thanks, Stefanie
