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.

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.
