All,

I did lot of experiment with Survey Monkey to create feedback surveys for
my accessibility trainings. Though I am somehow able to create a survey, it
is extremely difficult with screen reader.

Now I am mostly using Google forms and Office forms for most of the
registrations and feedback. Both of them are accessible both authoring side
and even the end user side. May be worth looking at them if they meet your
need.

http://forms.office.com

Thanks & Regards
Rakesh
