- baddox 11y agoAn even better question: Do screen readers NOT do this? I would be very surprised if they don't. Surely by now screen readers would be based on one of the popular browsers.
- danneu 11y agoScreen readers definitely support Javascript: http://webaim.org/projects/screenreadersurvey5/#javascript http://webaim.org/projects/screenreadersurvey5/#javascript HN had a pretty good convo about accessibility a few years ago where some screen reader dependent community members dispelled the myth once and for all, for me. We tend to talk about screen readers here like they're just `curl example.com | say`.
