<p class="MsoNormal">We are researchers from the Center for Accessibility and Inclusion Research at the Rochester Institute of Technology and TU Dublin conducting a research survey on the use of accessibility overlays.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are seeking insights from blind and low vision computer users who are 18 years or older about experiences using accessibility overlays. We are offering a raffle of $100 to a winner drawn from up to 2000 survey respondents.

<p class="MsoNormal">Accessibility Overlays are a broad term for technologies that aim to improve the accessibility of a website. Some claim to fix any problems in the site’s code that are preventing assistive technology from being used easily. Examples include;
AccessiBe, UserWay and EqualWeb. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you have used accessibility overlays, you may qualify for this study.
