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/ >>w >>Jared Smith >>WebAIM To subscribe or to leave the list, or to set other subscription options, go to www.freelists.org/list/real-eyes
