What about using some of the Firefox plugins to emulate screen readers or text browsers: FANGS (JAWS emulator for FireFox) http://sourceforge.net/projects/fangs/ Yellowpipe Lynx viewer (Lynx emulator for Firefox) http://www.yellowpipe.com/yis/tools/lynx/lynx_viewer.php Admittedly you will have to surf each page in Firefox, generate the emulated results and check which is time intensive but then you have one app used for testing in three different modes.
