On Windows, test it with NVDA[1] or JAWS[2]. On Linux, in Gnome, there's a screen reader that can be enabled in the settings under accessibility. I'm not sure what there is for Mac, Android, or iOS offhand.
Also, test in high contrast modes, and screen magnifiers.

- Ennea 5y agoThank you, that's very helpful! I'll be saving these for later :)
- mwcampbell 5y agoTo expand on this: Windows also has the Narrator screen reader built in, and in Windows 10, Narrator is a decent screen reader IMO. (Disclosure: I used to be on the Windows accessibility team at Microsoft, where I worked on Narrator.) To enable Narrator, press Ctrl+Win+Enter. Narrator has a built-in tutorial (not written by me) to help you get started. Mac and iOS has VoiceOver built in. To enable it on Mac, press Command+F5. On iOS, you may be able to triple-press the home button, on devices that have one. Failing that, you can find it in Settings. Android has TalkBack built in. You can find it somewhere in Settings; the specifics are device-dependent.
