Kazuhito Kidachi asked for a way to contrast and compare support across screen readers in the HTML support tables
I took some time over the weekend to create a Lookup app (of sorts) What it does is take the data in the JAWS/NVDA/VoiceOver HTML support tables being published by TetraLogical and display them on a HTML element basis.
Choose an element from the list and the available information for each of the Screen readers will be displayed for the selected element only. This is only a proof of concept, but it works.
See the Pen
Screen Reader HTML Support – Lookup test by steve faulkner (@stevef)
on CodePen.
let me know if this is useful? (i think it is)

Thank you Steve, I’ve blogged about this at https://kidachi.kazuhi.to/blog/archives/043122.html
Steve this is an awesome idea! I’ve shared this with my team and we love it. Are you by chance looking for folks to help with turning this POC into a full fledged tool?
Thanks Kalib, I am working on improvements, am going to publish it to a repo and from there it can be forked/updated etc.
