In this project, I'm working on an accessibility tool to detect links styled as buttons, a common issue that can confuse users. My approach involves scraping websites to gather images of buttons and links, and then training a machine learning model to distinguish between them. This post focuses on the scraping process using Puppeteer. I encountered challenges like occluded elements and smooth scrolling, which I addressed by checking for occlusion and disabling smooth scrolling. The next step is training the ML image classifier.
