As described in ticket 5010, I often want to check a full website quickly on accessibility issues using the speech viewer:

http://community.nvda-project.org/ticket/5010

It would be very useful to have some colors there that give visual clues on the meta information the screenreader provides; for example links could be in red color and headings in blue color.

I know that NVDA mainly is not meant for people with eye sight, so I'm not surprised when you don't want to add a feature like this. But it would be very useful if the output of the speech viewer could somehow be sent to another program which itself could enhance the output. This wouldn't be trivial, as plain text like "link" could be meta information induced by the screenreader or real content of the website. But maybe it would be possible to transmit this information, too? Is there an API or something that can be connected to?
