Re: Do lack of labels for input forms affect users depending on "speech input"

Suchuru,
Did you mean users who depend on speech input such as speech recognition
(dranon naturally speaking) or did you actually meant to say users who
depend on speech output (meaning screen reading software such as NVDA, JAWS
etc.,)

But in general, lack of form labels affects:
1. Blind users
2. Low vision users
3. Users with cognitive disabilities
4. Users using refreshable Braille displays
5. Elderly

Hope this helps,
-Srinivasu
