Best accessibility of website check tools
Question
Can you suggest me the best tools for website accessibility. My purpose is accessibility for blinds. I am looking for a tool that can also find menu and sub-menu (sub-menu that do not open with keyboard) and . I found tools such as wave (It shows styles and elements), FAE (It shows a lot of information but I think does not show element itself).

There's no substitute for real user feedback but with any tool we can un-cover and then fix 30-40% of accessibility issues at development end. For confirming the accessibility for any web application mainly meant for blind people, screen readers are of great help. You can use below listed screens readers:
- NVDA (Windows)
- Serotek System Access (Windows)
- Apple VoiceOver (OS X)
- ORCA (Linux)
- BRLTTY (Linux)
- Emacspeak (Linux)
- WebAnywhere (All OSs, Web browsers)
- Chrome Addons - ChromeVox and ChromeVis
- JAWS (Windows)
Test your web application against accessibility standards eg WCAG 2.0, US Section 508 to ensure the application is accessible to all differently abled people and not only visual impaired audience.
Here https://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/tools/ , you will find information about all available tools to test accessibility of your web or mobile application.
Below listed free tools are easy to install, use and provide good reporting.

We won't (because it's off topic) recommend a tool.
That being said. You want a tool to check for accessibility for blind. Ask a blind.
You're testing accessibility, ask a person not a robot.
When this will be done, ask a partially sighted people, a color-blind, someone with LHON, glaucoma.
After that focus on deaf people, those who speak sign-language but also those who have hearing loss (old people for instance).
When you will talk with old people, ask them about motor impairment, Parkinson disease, and why not cognitive loss? Many people suffer from aphasia after a stroke...
Why not caring about accessibility for "dys"-orders (learning disabilities) ? Dyslexia, Dysorthograph, Dysphasia, Dyscalculia, Dyspraxia.
Accessibility does not only concern blind people.
Nope. Don't ask for a tool. No tool can be used if you can't understand its results.
