Why do people care about screen readers? Is it because they are good people and want to make sure sight-impaired visitors are able to access their content? Or is it because they have contracts that require 508 compliance?
- voltagex_ 13y agoI guess it's a good question. At a recent conference it [website accessibility] was described as the digital equivalent to putting a ramp in at your door. Where I work at the moment I'm required to comply with WCAG2 AA at a minimum.
- jimhart3000 13y agoWhy does it matter why they care? Does doing it for 508 compliance somehow make it less important? It's simply the right thing to do.
- sopooneo 13y agoI ask purely out of curiosity, not because I think the answer should affect my, or anyone else's, actions.
