Wasted $200 on a screen reader testing tool that barely worked
I bought AccessiBuddy Pro about 4 months ago for $199 thinking it would help me check my designs for blind users. Half the time it couldn't even parse simple buttons or forms on my own sites, and their support never replied to my emails after the first week. I ended up just learning to use NVDA for free and it works way better than that overpriced junk. Has anyone else gotten burned by a fancy accessibility tool that didn't deliver?

Hang on, just wanted to point out something quick. You said NVDA is free but it's actually open source, so it's free as in freedom and no cost. It's made by a nonprofit so there's no catch, unlike some of those paid tools.

Yeah totally agree, open source is the way to go with screen readers for sure.
