WebAIM is conducting a survey of screen reader users - http://webaim.org/projects/screenreadersurvey/ Web accessibility experts often say something like, "Screen reader users prefer…" followed by some accessibility recommendation. However, many of these recommendations are based on personal preference or conjecture - often from sighted users who only test with screen readers. The fact is that there is little data about screen reader usage to back up these recommendations. This survey will ask screen reader users about their usage and preferences. If you are a full-time, part-time, or even occasional screen reader user, please take a few minutes to complete the survey and provide us with a few details on your screen reader usage and preferences. We will be comparing results between those that rely on screen readers and those that primarily use them for evaluation and testing, so all screen reader users are invited to respond. Your feedback will help influence the accessibility techniques that web developers implement and that experts recommend. We'll be posting the survey results in a few months. Please post this announcement and/or the URL to other accessibility, disability, and assistive technology lists. More screen reader user responses will help solidify the recommendations made. http://webaim.org/projects/screenreadersurvey/ Jared Smith WebAIM _______________________________________________ To manage your subscription, visit http://list.webaim.org/ Address list messages to webaim-forum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- with regards Steve Faulkner Technical Director - TPG Europe Director - Web Accessibility Tools Consortium www.paciellogroup.com | www.wat-c.org Web Accessibility Toolbar - http://www.paciellogroup.com/resources/wat-ie-about.html Visit the JAWS Users List home page at: http://www.jaws-users.com Visit the Blind Computing home page at: http://www.blind-computing.com Address for the list archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/jaws-users-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx To post to this group, send email to jaws-users-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to jaws-users-list-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx For help from Mailman with your account Put the word help in the subject or body of a blank message to: jaws-users-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Use the following address in order to contact the management team jaws-users-list-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx If you wish to join the Blind Computing list send a blank email to the following address: blind-computing-join@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx blind_html To unsubscribe, please send a blank email to blind_html-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with unsubscribe in the subject line.
