>>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.
