There are a lot of tools out there to help create accessible content. I have found that the checker at the bottom of Microsoft products is the most useful, but you are welcome to try some of these options if you would like. These are most useful when creating website content.
WAVE Accessibility Tool
Use this browser extension to highlight errors and alerts on any webpage. WAVE is helpful for content editors because it shows visual indicators right on the screen.
Install WAVE for Chrome, Firefox, or Edge
Axe DevTools (by Deque)
This is a Chrome browser extension that’s a bit more advanced. It works inside the browser’s inspect tool and is great for checking behind-the-scenes code.

Accessibility Insights for Web (by Microsoft)
This extension is useful for both automated and guided manual checks. It visualizes tab stops and helps walk you through a broader review.

HeadingsMap
Shows you whether your page’s headings are structured properly, which is important for screen reader users and clear content flow.

Color & Contrast Checkers
If your content uses custom text colors or highlights, check that your color choices are accessible to people with low vision or color blindness.
Tip
Make sure color isn’t the only way you convey meaning; use text labels, symbols, or patterns when needed.
