Accessibility Tools

Accessibility tools read browser-visible preferences and offer focused previews for motion, color scheme, forced colors, contrast math, keyboard focus, and speech synthesis.

Start with Accessibility Preferences for a hub overview (including prefer-contrast explanation), then open a dedicated tool for a live preview or WCAG hex contrast check. These pages are informational, not medical reports or full site audits.

FAQ

Accessibility Tools FAQ

Common questions about this category of diagnostics.

Are these medical or clinical diagnoses?
No. Accessibility tools on DeviceHub are informational browser utilities, not medical or clinical assessments, eye exams, or fitness-for-duty certificates. Color Blindness Test (Display) is educational simulation only.
Do these tools replace WAVE, axe, or a professional audit?
No. Contrast math covers entered hex pairs; preference tools report media features; spacing and focus pages are previews/samples. None is a full site crawler or conformance certificate.
What do prefers-* values mean here?
They reflect OS and browser settings exposed to CSS media queries, not every assistive technology configuration. Unsupported or no-preference can be valid engine or platform evidence.
Why does Speech Synthesis need a click?
speechSynthesis often requires a user gesture before audio. Voices also differ by OS and may load asynchronously, empty lists can be capability evidence, not a DeviceHub defect.
