Dear All,
I need to to test some websites for accessibility.
The websites should be tested thoroughly for WCAG 2.0 Compliance and need to
provide high level of accessibility/usability.
I would like to know what assistive technology software is needed to do the
testing.
Are multiple screen readers needed or will testing using either JAWS or
Window-Eyes or Supernova suffice ?
If the websites work well with any screen reader such as JAWS, can we say
that it is accessible to the blind ? Does the level of accessibility vary
with different screen readers?
Are screen magnifiers such as ZoomText or MAGic also need to carry out
accessibility testing for low vision persons ?
Are any other assistive devices such also needed to carry out accessibility
testing for persons with motor disabilities ?
Thanks,
Sam
