+ Tools and technology worth knowing about — the kind that + change what’s possible, not just what’s convenient. +
+ +A JAWS 2026 feature, from Vispero
+ ++ A few years ago, figuring out where a control lived on a page meant + tabbing through it blind — top-left, buried in a sidebar, or + three tab-stops past a broken landmark, with no way to know the + shape of the page before you’d already crawled most of it. + Page Explorer, paired with AI, changes that: it can describe an + entire page’s layout in detail, in seconds, before you touch a + single control. +
+ ++ Instead of discovering a page one tab-stop at a time, Page Explorer + gives a screen reader user an upfront, AI-generated description of + how the page is actually laid out — what regions exist, where + the main content sits relative to navigation and sidebars, and what + controls are grouped together. It turns page orientation from a + slow, manual search into something closer to a glance. +
+ ++ Page Explorer can only describe a page well if that page was + actually built with real structure underneath it — real + landmarks, real semantics, not div soup. It’s a direct, + practical payoff for the same engineering discipline behind + everything in my projects: build it + correctly, and tools like this can do far more with it than anyone + writing the page by hand ever could on their own. +
