I completed with the only problem in the last step, to review the answers and submit. If it were to work like the last step in web commerce pages, it should be possible to review and change things on that last page. Apparently the implication is to use alt left arrow to go back to the previous page to go over the answers. It's a blunder for something concerned with accessibility. ----- Original Message ----- From: "DAVID WEDDLE" <ddweddle@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Has anyone had the trouble I've had trying to complete this survey.  In
my opinion it's far from speech friendly.  If anyone has had success
with this survey using JAWS, please let me know.

Thanks.

Take care...
Dave

Subject: [free-aria] [WebAIM] Screen reader survey



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.
