how to enable microsoft edge accessibility

I have problem with edge accessibility on window 10.

I see that microsoft edge supported accessibility technology as narrator. It can access and read controls on window 10. I try and see that it works normally. However, AccExplore32 tool can not access web element in Edge although it still works with IE.

I use accessibility technology like AccTool. Therefore, I can not access control in Edge page.

Chrome has a setting that force chrome enable accessiblity by "--force-renderer-accessibility"

Does Edge have it ?

Solution

  • You can view the accessibility tree of Microsoft Edge using Inspect.exe from the Windows 10 SDK. You'll get the most accurate representation if you choose "UI Automation Mode" and "Control View" from the Options menu in Inspect.

    Please see this blog post for more information on accessibility in Edge: Accessibility: Towards a more inclusive web with Microsoft Edge and Windows 10.
