Test with real screen readers, verifying announcements, live regions, and navigation, not just automated checks. Use when validating accessibility of UI that automated tools cannot fully assess.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Screen reader testing Automated accessibility checkers catch maybe a third of issues; the rest (does it announce sensibly, does the flow make sense, do updates get spoken) require using an actual screen reader. Testing with one is the only way to know what a blind user actually experiences, and it routinely surprises sighted developers. ## Method 1. **Test with the real tools users use.** NVDA (free, Windows, most common), VoiceOver (built into macOS/iOS), JAWS (widespread in enterprise), TalkBack (Android): test with at least NVDA or VoiceOver, ideally the ones your users use. Screen readers differ in behavior, so what works in one can fail in another; the common ones cover most users. 2. **Learn the basic navigation, then use it.** How to move by element, by heading, by landmark, by link, by form control (each screen reader has these modes): because users navigate by structure, jumping between headings and landmarks, not reading top to bottom. Testing this way reveals whether your heading hierarchy and landmarks (see docs-information-architecture's structure, aria-usage) actually help navigation. …

How to install
mdr add amey-thakur/ai-skills/screen-reader-testing@sha256:4b6963515e36c6a9The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260728.fac4544, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
