Well it is possible to create accessible surveys using the platform The
biggest problem is is the creation of the surveys is not at all accessible
it's purely a drag and drop interface and horrid at best it is not the
default setting for accessibility on any of the questions you have to make
sure the labels are applied appropriately I can't tell you how often I've
seen a qualtric survey with just a row of radio buttons and no association
with the label whatsoever and the next and previous buttons being
completely unlabeled I will get the instructions that our team uses for the
creation for you but for now know that creating them is not an accessible
platform whatsoever
