Screen Reader Text Preview
Preview how screen readers interpret your content
What this tool does, in plain English
Blind and low-vision visitors hear your page through screen readers — software that reads each link, button, heading, and image out loud. Paste your HTML here to see the exact words they would hear, in the order they hear them.
Use it before publishing to catch missing image descriptions, buttons that say only “click here,” or links that lead nowhere clear. The Issues panel highlights anything confusing, so you can fix it quickly.

What is Screen Reader Text Preview?
Screen Reader Text Preview shows how assistive technology reads your HTML content. It reveals the accessible name, role, and reading order of elements — helping you identify missing labels, poor heading structure, and ARIA issues before users encounter them.
How to use
- Paste your HTML content or enter a URL to analyze.
- Review the linearized reading order and element accessibility tree.
- Fix flagged issues and re-test until the reading flow is clear.
Result
A developer pastes a navigation menu. The tool reveals that 3 links have no accessible names and the heading order jumps from h1 to h4, causing confusion for screen reader users.
