Hi all,
There is a UPA article that describes the level of accessibility provided by
Survey Gizmo and SurveyMonkey, but the info is as of 2007.
http://www.upassoc.org/upa_publications/upa_voice/volumes/2007/april/access.html

I think I heard that one of the 2 tools mentioned improved their
accessibility after the article was published. I provided this info to
Ginger on the WAI list.
