Re: Making Sure of ARIA Screen Reading Settings

Hi,
This is absolutely not meant to bash screen reader vendors, because I would be on Public Assistance without a screen reader. I can understand why it frustrates developers who have a good heart, and try to follow standards, only to find out that they have spent that time in vain. I completely realize that a lot of ARIA support is still evolving. I probably shouldn't be posting this here. I'm trying to post in the best possible spirit. It makes accessibility advocates look bad when we can't count on AT stepping up and adhering to them, no matter why. Please forgive this possible negativity.

Jim
