Similar to Google TalkBack, it provides element-by-element UI navigation with spoken descriptions, helping testers identify accessibility gaps and validate how screen reader users experience content. By leveraging real device testing, this feature delivers a realistic evaluation of accessibility issues, empowering teams to enhance inclusivity and usability in their digital experiences.
