> you want to at least test with JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver
It depends on what the stakes are but if you’re consistently confirming things work with just one screen reader, that makes most of the difference.
NVDA with Firefox or Chrome is probably the best to test with; it’s free, probably the most common choice now, and it has a lot in common with JAWS. But if testing with Windows is inconvenient, testing VoiceOver with Safari for Mac is still very useful, in part because it’s very similar to VoiceOver on iOS.
