Hi Brandon, you may want to check out Fangs for Firefox. I've included a link below. It apparently doesn't work with the latest Firefox (Quantum), but it works with Firefox 56. I tested it and enjoy the output.

Subject: [WebAIM] Browser plugin that shows what a screen reader sees?

Hello,
Is there a browser plugin that will show what a screen reader sees so a non screen reader user can see how the interface looks to a screen reader?
I'm not sure how a plugin like this would work with tables, but it would be really great for noticing some of the worst UX mistakes.
Thanks,
