Hi Franco, have you happened upon the ANDI bookmarklet that the Social Security Admin (SSA) has put together?

This has probably been one of the most useful tools I've come across in my a11y work, it breaks a page down by its focusable items (including tab order), graphics/image, links, color contrast, etc.

My favorite feature is the ANDI output which will show you what a user of a screen reader should hear. This is super helpful if you are either auditing other folks sites, or if you're wanting to ensure what you're building is exposing the correct information to assistive tech (AT).

Thanks for the reply! ANDI looks awesome and I will take a closer look into it this week. See if I can find any learnings or cool features I can apply to my A11y app.

Thanks again!
