Subject line: Do you use developer tools?
Hi, my name is Dante and I work on the Microsoft
Visual Studio engineering team. Weâre learning
how developers use assistive technologies like
screen readers or refreshable braille displays.
If you use any assistive technologies with your
developer tools, please take this very short
survey and share your experiences with us! Your
feedback will help us build a better, more
accessible developer tools for you.

Good Morning Dante,
Please email to me the text of an announcement to
solicit NFB members to take the Visual Studio
survey. I will have the announcement posted to
our members list. The announcement should
emphasize that only list members who use visual Studio should take the survey.
Members of the NFB Research Advisory Council also
suggested that a statement that only users of
Visual Studio are invited to take the survey
should be added at the beginning of the survey.
This will help to prevent people who have never
used Visual Studio from completing the survey.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Best regards,
Lou Ann

Luanne,
My name is Dante Gagne and Iâm a program
manager for Visual Studio at Microsoft. Over the
last 8 months weâve been engaged in an all-up
push to improve the compatibility of Visual
Studio with Assistive Technologies (E.g. Screen
Readers). We currently plan to release an update
to Visual Studio in early August which should
dramatically improve the experience of our
customers who use Visual Studio with screen readers.
I reached out to the list owners of
âBlindrugâ and âfnbcsâ, and David Andrews
directed me to reach out to you. If youâll
allow it, I would like to send three e-mails to
whatever email aliases you will allow. The first
will ask folks who use Visual Studio to take a
survey on surveymonkey giving us an idea of the
quality of their experience with Visual Studio
today. The second e-mail will be within a day or
two of our next update of Visual Studio which
will contain the bulk of compatibility fixes, and
will encourage the folks to download the newest
update and give it a try. Finally, near the end
of August/beginning of September, Iâll send
another survey asking folks if they feel the
newest update is better and give folks an opportunity to give more feedback.
Our goal is to improve the overall quality of
Visual Studioâs compatibility with ATs to
ensure that folks who want to use Visual Studio
will find it a better, more welcoming experience.
Please let me know if you have any questions or
what I would need to do. I have CCâd my
colleague in the Cloud & Enterprise Accessibility
core team, Gianugo, who is responsible for
accessibility for the entire C&E division here at Microsoft.
Thank you for your time,
Dante
