A great way to test to see if your web page is accessible is to use a screen reader to try it out. WebAIM has a great article about using a screen reader to test accessibility. One of the goals of our WebAnywhere project is to provide a low-cost, self-voicing web browser web application. That's a mouthful. Basically, we want anyone to be able to come to a web page and have that web page provide all the functionality that they need to browser other web pages. One of the uses of this will be to provide web developers with a low-cost way to see if their sites are accessible. As a "side benefit," we'll also be enabling access to the web for blind users from the huge number of computers that lack a traditional (expensive) screen reader.
