Profile

For years I’ve felt a real absence of automated test tooling in the screen reader space so hoping this can be useful for folks.Currently supports VoiceOver for MacOS and NVDA on Windows, and hope to extend to some mobile screen readers in future (perhaps with community help!).It’s not a catch-all, there’s so much more to being accessible than testing with some screen readers, but hopefully it can lower the barrier to entry for some testers, and provide a means to reliably regression test golden paths in CI in a layer approach alongside static analysis tools such as axe.

Within the show hn launch space, the company focuses on its core offering rather than a broad product line.

It is recorded at the Show HN launch stage.
