Hey. I am currently doing research for my company for an article about
web accessibility. I need a ballpark figure of how many people (US or
worldwide) use screen reader software. I tried asking GW Micro for
their sales figures, but they wouldn't tell me. i have also asked the
makers of JAWS, but that figure would not be very accurate, since there
are so many other screen readers out there. Does anybody know where I
could find an estimate of the total number of people who use screen
readers?
