We wrote a free screen reader simulator for this purpose (Chrome plugin):

It’s not a substitute for real-world testing, but it should help you appreciate the basics without having to learn a full screen reader.

We’re also working on some accessibility games right now (scores challenges for you to complete in a browser with a simulated disability), which sound a lot like what you’re suggesting.

I was surprised to find myopia here. Is there a level of myopia that can't be corrected with glasses and thus is a disability?

[oliveremberton]

Pathological myopia can't be corrected with glasses.

TBH we call it "myopia" in the plugin because it's short and what we think most users would understand. Many visual disabilities cause a similar blurring effect, such as cataracts.

This is great. Until now I've been using ChromeVox, but found it quite difficult to use. Many esoteric keyboard shortcuts, some of which conflict with other browser functionality.

Toolbar seems a lot easier to to use for sighted developers. Less of a learning curve.

Oddly M doesn't seem to jump to the main content for me. I wonder if I've done something wrong. I'm going to play with it.

Thanks for developing this!
