Description: Job Access With Speech (JAWS) Inspect is a web developer software that reports how JAWS screen reader “sees” and “reads” a web page. With this add-on, this technology can use the highlight feature to select an element in a report so that you can quickly find it on the web page the users are testing. Jaws Inspect can also use it to select and highlight an element directly on the web page. Once highlighted, the user can run a report on the element or view its HyperText Markup Language (HTML) properties.

Ensure that JAWSInspect Browser Extension is obtained from the authentic Google or Firefox webstore with a verifiable web certificate.
