What it does
This toolbar is a Chrome plugin that simulates using the web with a range of disabilities, including:
- Dyslexia
- Colour blindness
- Myopia
- Blindness & more
We’ve designed the tool for people looking to develop and test accessible websites, especially those meeting WCAG 2.1. It’s free and it always will be.

- Optionally have text read aloud to you
- Navigate with your keyboard or mouse
- Optionally turn off your ability to see the page
