My thoughts
- Few mobile screen readers such as Ideal and voice assistance are very rarely used as far as I know. In webAIM screen reader survey #6 these screen readers are not been shown. Interested to see the results in this area.
- Another interesting question in the survey is “Which of the following most accurately describes your screen reader usage?â€. I think results help in understanding the screen reader usage along with auditory/ visual comparisons.
- Screen reader user survey #6 have not given a clear picture on the use of landmarks and skip links. Hope the latest survey helps to get to a more clear understanding.
