Using Inspect32 to Inspect Links and Images on Web Sites

Posted under Developer & Development & Testing
Written by: Thomas Logan

Inspect32 is a tool from Microsoft that enables a developer to verify that information is being correctly exposed through MSAA (Microsoft Active Accessibility). MSAA is an information source for an assistive technology. As a developer or tester, by verifying that the “Name” property is being passed through, you will be able to ensure that screen readers can properly read the labels for your content to a visually impaired person.

    Thanks for highlighting Inspect32. I would love to use it, but it doesn’t look like it supports Windows Vista. Any idea if there will be a new version with Vista support?

    Hi Deborah,

    I have used Inspect32 from the link listed on this post many times on Vista. I was not able to find an update specific to Vista but the current version does work.

    Give it a try! :)

    Jeff,

    Thanks! When I visited the link for Inspect32, the system requirements did not list Vista as a supported operating system.
