Real-time accessibility testing for blind developers

Ship features that sound right in a screen reader before code review.

Accessibility Dev Checker watches your markup as you build, flags high-risk ARIA and keyboard issues, and simulates announcement output so your team can catch regressions where they start.

  • Screen reader output simulation
  • Keyboard path mapping
  • ARIA and landmark validation
  • CI-friendly API endpoint

Why teams buy this

Accessibility defects become expensive when they are found in audits, legal review, or customer escalations.

Blind developers can validate their own features without waiting on manual QA.

Sighted engineers hear what users hear, so inaccessible naming patterns get fixed during development.

Teams under ADA or WCAG commitments avoid late-cycle surprises and failed audits.

The problem this solves

Screen reader blind spots

Most teams run visual QA, not auditory QA. Missing labels and noisy landmarks slip into production because no one hears the interface during development.

Keyboard traps ship often

Positive tabindex and focus management bugs break navigation paths, especially in modals and dropdowns. These issues are painful to catch late.

Compliance pressure

Teams exposed to accessibility lawsuits need consistent, repeatable checks that run before merge, not after a legal complaint.

How the product works

1. Analyze in real time

Paste rendered HTML or connect from your IDE extension. The engine runs axe plus custom ARIA and keyboard checks in milliseconds.

2. Hear announcements

Simulated screen reader output shows names, roles, states, and reading order so every developer understands user impact instantly.

3. Fix with confidence

Findings are severity-ranked with concrete remediation guidance. Teams gate pull requests on critical issues and keep release quality high.

FAQ

How is this different from a normal axe scan in CI?

Axe is part of the engine, but we also map keyboard traversal and simulate what assistive technology announces. That gives developers context about user impact, not just a rule ID.

Can blind developers use it independently?

Yes. The dashboard is keyboard-first, and output is text-first so blind developers can verify exactly what would be announced without a visual audit.

Does it fit into pull request workflows?

The VS Code extension and API endpoints are designed for local scans and CI jobs. Teams can fail builds when critical or serious issues appear.

What happens after payment?

After successful Lemon Squeezy checkout, an access cookie unlocks the analyzer dashboard and API endpoint for your browser session.
