Re: Browser plugin that shows what a screen reader sees?

Yup, as well, NVDA offers the Speech Viewer (Right-click on the NVDA icon
in the Taskbar, select Tools >> Speech Viewer)

It opens an additional dialog box, and shows you in text what the SR is
'speaking'. When instructing new sighted users on how to use NVDA for
testing, I've found it to be a useful companion to listening to the voice
speak (i.e. Multi-modal input: sight and sound)

Not sure if that is what you are seeking however, as it does not give you
an 'overview' of the page/content ("...so a non
screen reader user can see how the interface looks to a screen reader...");
rather, it simply shows the same text information that would also be piped
to a Braille output bar.
