Reviews & Comments of Silktide - website accessibility simulator chrome extension

The 'select' mode in screen reader simulator doesn't work

Just installed this today. Very feature rich. I originally downloaded this for screen reader simulation, but the low-vision / no-vision features are amazing.

Excellent tool to check accessibility through simulation. I have been testing online course content using the screen reader simulation and it is working perfectly...even keyboard shortcuts which are typically used with screen readers! Thank you for an excellent product!

I use it for me UX and UI work. I love it!

Very well built extension! I especially liked the dyslexia simulation.

I can't get it to work on any website except the Silktide website. Where are the instructions?

I'm very thankful this extension exists. I have to disable it for now, however, since I use the Ctrl+Enter shortcut already, and this extension hijacks it without a way to turn it off. Please fix this.

I don't know what the deal is but this tool would not turn on except for on the Silktide website, and when it did it wouldn't actually speak anything. It just showed me words in its little program box.

Great tool!

This helped me find a few accessibility issues on my homepage! Great tool!

Really eye opening how a screen reader actually works. This helps identify areas to improve on your website. Heavily recommend.

Brilliant bit of kit! Keeps me in check when I am building websites. I recommend you add this to Chrome if your serious about accessibility.

I find this really helpful when testing for accessibility, as compared to a regular screen reader I can still easily use my Chrome dev tools. With a screen reader enabled these are themselves read out, making development a right pain.
