Audio-only Internet Browser?

Post by Sindarin »

does anyone know any browser which is audio/speech only, so I can test my accessibility level of my website?
Tried to search but nothing came up.

Most every operating system comes with some accesibility options. Linux has Orca and Windows has Text to Speech (under the control panel). Either one of those will read back to you whats on the screen.

There's a plugin for Firefox, called Fangs. It gives you a text representation of what a screen reader, like JAWS, would do. It's the closest thing you can get to actually installing a screen reader.
