JAWSInspect Extension

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.

Null Null (IamAsyncDev) (ID: 000000977e8efa59) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 11/13/2022 Just a sales pitch.

Ames Plant (ID: 000000503eaa0738) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 05/06/2022 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.

Andy Malis (ID: 0000001cb734e4bf) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 02/11/2022 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.

Ann Ames (ID: 000000fd410f8b34) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 11/29/2021 This extension *does* working without paying for the JAWS Inspect tool, but you do have to download the demo version of that tool from the JAWS site, and the resulting report only shows part of what JAWS would read: a great deal of text is replaced by "** demo limited **". This really does not help me evaluate your product to see if it's worth buying. It does, however, help me answer a second-hand customer report that JAWS isn't reading a particular page in our app - I get *something* in the report, and therefore I assume JAWS is reading *something* to the user - and so I gave my review 2 stars instead of 1. This would be so much more helpful if the demo were complete but time-limited, or complete for the first half of the page but not the second, etc. The way it is now, I can't tell if JAWS might be reading nothing to the end user, or if it is garbling the output - because the demo output is totally garbled, and perhaps the full tool output is garbled, too.

Stephen Wilkinson (ID: 00000096aa00aa07) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 10/13/2021 It would be an excellent tool, if the demonstration I watched is to be believed, but this is NOT a free product and does nothing unless you pay for it. This is the type of product that the Jaws developers ought to provide for free to help developers help their users.
