NVDA
What it is#
NVDA is useful for catching missing names, broken structure, and forms issues early. Exact speech output can differ from JAWS or VoiceOver.
Typical checks
- Browse mode exploration of headings/landmarks
- Focus mode interaction with form controls
- Announcements for dialogs and live updates
- Table and list structure when relevant
Testing workflow#
