Measure Repeated Keyboard Navigation Burden
A short keyboard detour becomes substantial when repeated. Quantify a measured tab route without pretending a stopwatch can determine whether a site meets an accessibility standard.

FIRST-LOAD
Input is processed locally and a draft is saved automatically in this browser profile when storage is available. Reset to sample clears that draft; Pro history has its own clear button. A state link encodes your inputs in its URL: share only non-sensitive rows. Browser history, clipboard and anyone receiving the link may retain it. Optional AI use below leaves this device; it is not required.
Data note: Everything runs in this browser tab on the keystroke counterfoil: your task | tab presses per visit | visits per session stays on this device, nothing is uploaded, and the reading is rebuilt only when you press run.
Perspective: Before: Repeated routes are the source of the cumulative burden. After: the keystroke counterfoil shows the working beside each named row so the reader can change the assumption and inspect the consequence.

one-time step · the free reading above stays complete
Free tier
- one complete keystroke counterfoil run in the app
- three samples plus unlimited article-demo runs
- unwatermarked result text and an explicit, user-triggered state link
What $4 one-time adds
- print the keystroke counterfoil with its row workings
- CSV of navigation seconds and row explanations
- last five reading summaries saved in this browser profile
$4 once for repeated filing of the keystroke counterfoil, not for a better answer. Illustrative time basis: avoiding one five-minute manual reformat per saved reading; no market-price or guaranteed-savings claim.

Boundary and sources
This is a task-effort estimate, not a WCAG pass/fail test. Include keyboard and assistive-technology users in evaluation.
- Method: Multiply presses by visits and the observed seconds per press. The default 0.6 seconds is illustrative, not a claim about a disabled person’s speed.
- All sample records are invented examples. The app does not fetch measurements, policies, files or personal records.
- Google’s official pricing page, fetched 2026-09-27, lists free-tier access including AI Studio. Optional formatting only; limits and availability can change. Free-tier content may be used to improve products. Never paste private records there.
Mechanism: competence-autonomy-loop
Optional AI formatting, not calculation
For this keystroke counterfoil, use the free AI Studio interface only if available to you, with no paid API key. Manual entry completes the same workflow for free. Supply only fictional or non-sensitive notes. Review its output against the source; never paste unresolved questions into the numeric rows.
Format my non-sensitive notes for a keystroke counterfoil. Return plain rows only: task | tab presses per visit | visits per session. Preserve supplied quantities exactly. Do not guess missing values; list questions separately. Do not calculate or add advice. I will check every row before pasting into the local tool.
Accepted schema: task | tab presses per visit | visits per session. No AI response is executed as code.
