This article seems to be picking up steam in circulation. I
recommend that readers keep in mind that it came out a number of
years ago like 2002 or 2003.

The article reads, in part:
"Between November 2002 and February 2003, we observed and listened to
16 blind users as they worked with Web sites using assistive devices
that read the screen to them (screen readers)."


No NVDA, no VO . . .
And hasn't the Web changed? And many new versions of screen readers
since then?

It may be useful/thought-provoking, but dates on this kind of
information/research matter, even if they are not always easy to notice.
