Does not seem to be a 'stand-along' chrome inspector tool of any sort. Not sure at all how to use it, outside of being on a Windows with a Jaws Inspect plan? I was hoping that I could use the Chrome extension to show me how a Screen Reader might read the pages that I am testing, but if it does this, I can't figure out how to initiate it.

This is a poorly marketed sales pitch. I understand your devs need to be paid, and didn't expect your full product. But mentioning in any way this is paid only would be helpful in the description. I thought this was a Dev tool to help developers make the internet more accessible. Think for example Google Chrome Dev Tools being free to make the internet better. Really it would make more sense to just make devs wanting compatibility to buy your regular product if thats all this is.

This extension *does* working without paying for the JAWS Inspect tool, but you do have to download the demo version of that tool from the JAWS site, and the resulting report only shows part of what JAWS would read: a great deal of text is replaced by "** demo limited **". This really does not help me evaluate your product to see if it's worth buying. It does, however, help me answer a second-hand customer report that JAWS isn't reading a particular page in our app - I get *something* in the report, and therefore I assume JAWS is reading *something* to the user - and so I gave my review 2 stars instead of 1. This would be so much more helpful if the demo were complete but time-limited, or complete for the first half of the page but not the second, etc. The way it is now, I can't tell if JAWS might be reading nothing to the end user, or if it is garbling the output - because the demo output is totally garbled, and perhaps the full tool output is garbled, too.
