Accessibility Testing Resources

External Resources for Testing and Understanding Accessibility Issues

• Test the color contrast on a web page to ensure that text is readable for the widest range of users: Color Contrast Checker [1]
• Test the semantic markup to ensure that the meaning of the page will render well in a screen reader: Web Accessibility Evaluation WAVE [2]
• There are browser specific tools that can aid accessibility reviews, such as the Chrome Plug Ins for Accessibility  [3]and Firefox Accessibility Toolbar [4]. These are more useful for web developers than editors. 
• Check how your page will sound on a screen reader. Try NVAccess [5], a free screen reader.
