Thank you Jared

Great that you added regions to this survey (or I do not remember them
from last time).
I have forwarded your announcements to my colleagues in Europe and the
European Blind Union technology mailing list.
I will forward elsewhere if it seems appropriate to do so.
If possible, would you please consider showing breakdown of sceen
reader usage by continent?
Thanks
