Dear fellow Federationists:<br>
<br>
Web Accessibility in Mind (WebAIM) has launched its seventh Screen Reader
User Survey. This survey attempts to track many aspects of screen reader
and browser usage by the blind around the world. The survey asks
questions on which screen readers and browsers are used and users’
proficiency with them, as well as questions about the use of headings and
landmarks, the accessibility of social media sites, and users’ feelings
on web accessibility in general.<br>
<br>
This survey is generally considered the closest thing to a definitive
resource on screen reader and web accessibility data, and is widely
referenced by web developers, accessibility professionals, and access
technology manufacturers. It is vital that as many people as possible
take this survey, since it will influence web accessibility for the next
two years or until the next survey. We therefore hope that many of you
will participate. The survey only takes ten to fifteen minutes to
complete, and no information that will identify you personally is
collected.<br>
<br>
The survey is open until November 1. It is available at
