Re: Creating surveys with Survey monkey as a screen reader user, and in a foreign language

for

We also found surveys produced by surveymonkey accessible in JAWs [with IE or firefox, JAWs does not mix well with chrome - for anything, but if using chrome would recommend chromevox, unlike JAWs its free]
We also found surveygizmo and questionpro produced surveys accesssible

But, how accessible are these survey tools for generating surveys?
Has anyone generated a survey using surveymonkey or other commercial software?
If so please relate experiences.

I am sighted and use bold, italic and colours for emphasis, but concerned that screen readers do not pick up this form of emphasis
Any suggestions?
Best

Yes, Survey Monkey is JAWS accessible. I did manage to create my
survey in the past. I am not quite sure about if you want to create in
a different language though. I would think that you shouldn't have any
problems with it.
