Re: FW: Qualtrics Survey Platform

One thing I often see, with Qualtrics surveys is a text/graphical link at the top. Since I don't create surveys, I don't know anything about its backend, but inaccessibility in this aspect of software is all to common. As a screen reader user, I have found that if there is a text/graphics choice, I must use text, as the other generally is completely inaccessible.

hi:
i would not say its easy its posible but not easy you need to take a lot
of care and change the defaults berker i will default to your notes as
ours may be some what out of date. frankly i think the platform needs a big wack for making it impossible or a servay to be created by and for pwd and i wish it would not get as much market share as it does lucy Lucia Greco Web Accessibility Evangelist IST - Architecture, Platforms, and Integration University of California, Berkeley
