We also test mission critical applications using Dragon and the text to speech functionality of ZoomText to make sure that all of our users can access these applications. We have frequently found that code that meets accessibility and html standards will still not work properly with Dragon and ZT. Duplicating label content with the title attribute resolves most of these issues.

Our team tests with Dragon and JAWS (screen reader). A screen reader
will catch accessibility issues that may affect blind/low vision users,
but will not catch many issues that voice recognition users may
encounter.

Does anyone use Dragon NaturallySpeaking during testing or do you
primarily stick to Screen Readers only?
