Hi, well, I can't do the experiment because the options aren't speaking with
Jaws. You need to make the website accessible and come back to us! In a lot
of the questions, all options appear blank apart from the last one, and in
the personal details section, the text was below the check box making it
counter intuitive!

Hi all,
We're developing a prototype system which takes numerical data found on maps
online (like census data) and communicates it as texts so that it's
accessible to the blind and VI community.
I'm running a final experiment now to find out which texts are most
preferred by blind and VI users so that we can implement these in our
system, and so I was hoping that you might participate if you're blind or
severely visually-impaired. The experiment takes on average half an hour and
it's online, so you can do it whenever is best for you,
though it needs to be done all in one sitting without taking breaks or
pauses in the middle.
Your participation will really make a difference and help us to produce
texts which make the most sense to blind and VI users in
general. Please forward this on to anyone else who you think might be
willing to participate.
The website to go to to take the experiment is:
