Almost nobody is testing their website with a screen reader so they don't think of it as part of the user experience. In fact, I think most developers are only vaguely aware of what web accessibility actually is for and how it affects users.
- wasmperson 2mo agoI'm curious about how many test with a screen reader even among those who do claim to care about accessibility. Most advice online around accessibility is about using alt attributes and semantic html tags or whatever, not testing your site with accessibility tools.
- tdeck 2mo agoProbably not much. Personally I think it's worthwhile because it becomes obvious exactly how broken the user experience is and makes it more motivating to fix (for me). It's pretty obvius what the problem is when all your buttons are just called "button", for example. But there is a learning curve for using a screen reader.
