FW: WebAIM Discussion List Digest 22.07.2004.




Gary,


I've also searched for an answer to that question a couple of years ago, and never came up with any decent data or references.  Perhaps there have been some attempts to obtain demographic data of screen reader users since then.  I'm forwarding you a study I received a couple months ago by Microsoft and Forrester Data, a private research firm, called "AT's Wide Impact - a Forrester Data & Microsoft Research Report."  It's probably the closest thing I've seen to good demographic data so far.  If you do come across any other studies I would surely be grateful if you could let me know about them.  Again, I haven't conducted a "thorough" lit search in at least 2 years, so I'm sure there's stuff out there I don't know about.

Best regards,

Mark


P.S. Gary, I'm forwarding you the article in a separate email so that I don't bombard the WebAIM Discussion List with a large attachment.

P.S.S. WebAIM Discussion folks, if any of you would like me to forward you a copy of the AT Report to your personal email address, send me a response and let me know if you prefer MS Word or Adobe PDF.
