ACCESSIBILITY SERVICES

Understand what assistive technology users actually hear.

Representative screen reader testing for names, roles, announcements, forms, dialogs, navigation and dynamic updates.

The problem this solves

Many issues are invisible in markup alone. Screen reader testing reveals whether controls are named, state changes are announced, forms are understandable and navigation makes sense.

Who needs this

  • Teams validating critical workflows

    Scope, evidence and recommendations are adapted to this context.

  • Products with dialogs, live updates or custom widgets

    Scope, evidence and recommendations are adapted to this context.

  • Organizations checking remediation quality

    Scope, evidence and recommendations are adapted to this context.

  • Vendors preparing procurement documentation

    Scope, evidence and recommendations are adapted to this context.

What we evaluate

  • Roles, names, states and values

    Tested with native semantics, keyboard behavior, responsive states and assistive technology where appropriate.

  • Headings, landmarks and navigation

    Tested with native semantics, keyboard behavior, responsive states and assistive technology where appropriate.

  • Forms, instructions and errors

    Tested with native semantics, keyboard behavior, responsive states and assistive technology where appropriate.

  • Dialogs and focus movement

    Tested with native semantics, keyboard behavior, responsive states and assistive technology where appropriate.

  • Live regions and dynamic updates

    Tested with native semantics, keyboard behavior, responsive states and assistive technology where appropriate.

Technical examples

  • NVDA with Firefox or Chrome

    Findings include evidence, impact, fix guidance and verification steps.

  • VoiceOver with Safari

    Findings include evidence, impact, fix guidance and verification steps.

  • Mobile pairings when in scope

    Findings include evidence, impact, fix guidance and verification steps.

  • Workflow notes instead of one-off announcements

    Findings include evidence, impact, fix guidance and verification steps.

Methodology

  1. Test

    Define scope and evaluate representative workflows.

  2. Find

    Record barriers with reproducible evidence.

  3. Explain

    Connect issues to user impact and technical criteria.

  4. Fix

    Recommend source-level remediation.

  5. Verify

    Retest fixes and update status.

Deliverables

  • Screen reader test notes

    Prepared for product, design, engineering and QA conversations.

  • Findings with reproduction steps and expected announcement

    Prepared for product, design, engineering and QA conversations.

  • Remediation guidance

    Prepared for product, design, engineering and QA conversations.

  • Limitations and recommended follow-up testing

    Prepared for product, design, engineering and QA conversations.

FAQ

Does one screen reader prove universal accessibility?

No. A single pairing cannot represent every user, browser or assistive technology combination.

Do you test JAWS?

JAWS can be included when required by the scope and available test setup.

Is screen reader testing enough?

No. Keyboard, visual, cognitive, low-vision and semantic issues also need evaluation.
