Extension summary

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.

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.
