This is a link from WCAG 2.0 that includes information about User Agent Support for WAI-ARIA



http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20-TECHS/aria

As per this, NVDA support is partial.

So now, which is the optimum approach?

Hi,

We use NVDA and Firefox here, but if a company's standard is, for example, JAWS and IE, we double check with that combination. As far as I am aware, NVDA depends the most on the accessibility information from the browser, and Firefox uses it the most. We think that gives us the purest test results.



Thanks.



Jim

I'd use NVDA as long as it supports the browser. NVDA is a standard screen reader and does not drill through HTML like JAWS. VoiceOver can be a shallow screen reader especially on iOS devices from my experience. In fact, I submitted a ticket to Apple about VoiceOver reading HTML incorrectly on iOS 9.3.2. For example, if the H1 is too big to fit on the iPhone screen, VoiceOver reports it as 2 separate H1 tags, when code-wise it is a single H1.

Hi All,

Wish to learn, suppose you have choice to test on one browser, screen-reader combination on web page that has a wide application of ARIA controls and wizards, what would be your first choice?



Best,

Sucharu

Sucharu,



As suggested, but here is a more solid approach.



JAWS with Internet Explorer

NVDA with FireFox

VoiceOver with Safari on Mac, iPad and iPhone



If you cover the above, you can be in a great shape.

Dear listmembers,

Can someone provide link to any resource about "screen- reader and browser combination: potential first choice"

Best,
