Re: [EXTERNAL] Google Lighthouse with a screen reader?

Unless you are looking to write code to integrate Google Lighthouse into a continuous integration system, it sounds like you either access Google Lighthouse from Chrome DevTools or the commandline.

If you find Chrome DevTools accessible enough, then you don't need to install Node to use the features. If you prefer to use the command line, you definitely will need to install Node.

I use a screen reader, but it has been a couple months since I tried working with the Chrome DevTools. If I recall correctly, I think I found some things seemed accessible while others weren't. I think I was able to access the audit tab and review the accessibility information provided there.

Thanks,
Tim
