To aid with testing, Oracle E-Business Suite includes a screen reader simulation mode. By setting environment variable ACCESS_READER_MODE to the value ERROR_REPORTING before starting the web listener, the system will automatically raise an error message when focus moves to an item that does not have a speakable prompt. This mode allows validation of each form without actually having to run with a real screen reader installed, although it is not intended to be a complete substitute for such testing. This feature relies on the form-level WHEN-NEW-ITEM-INSTANCE trigger firing on each field.

The Oracle Forms generic code for Actions and Values LOV and screen reader simulation mode is also available.
