Summary

Analyze keywords

JAWS Inspect is a web developer tool that reports how JAWS screen reader “sees” and “reads” a web page. With this add-on, you can use the highlight feature to select an element in a report so that you can quickly find it on the web page you are testing. You can also use it to select and highlight an element directly on the web page. Once highlighted, you can run a report on the element or view its HTML properties. This add-in is meant to be used in conjunction with JAWS Inspect.

User reviews

Just a sales pitch.

Does not seem to be a 'stand-along' chrome inspector tool of any sort. Not sure at all how to use it, outside of being on a Windows with a Jaws Inspect plan? I was hoping that I could use the Chrome extension to show me how a Screen Reader might read the pages that I am testing, but if it does this, I can't figure out how to initiate it.

This is a poorly marketed sales pitch. I understand your devs need to be paid, and didn't expect your full product. But mentioning in any way this is paid only would be helpful in the description. I thought this was a Dev tool to help developers make the internet more accessible. Think for example Google Chrome Dev Tools being free to make the internet better. Really it would make more sense to just make devs wanting compatibility to buy your regular product if thats all this is.
