GDD 2011 presentation and Sydney GDD 2011 presentation on accessible Web Apps, featuring ChromeVox

Google I/O 2011 presentation on accessible HTML5, featuring these extensions

These Chrome Extensions are available here so that developers can use them to enhance the accessibility of their products. They allow developers to test their web apps inside the browser so that they can experience their products as users do in order to conduct better accessibility testing.

Furthermore, the code shared by these extensions provides fine-grained access to text content and the DOM of the page, and this code can be used by developers to create innovative access strategies that aren't constrained by traditional accessibility APIs.
