Hi,

Sorry if this has come up here already, is it a known bug (or
something folks have experienced) in where VO on the Mac and on the
iPhone incorrectly reports the number of radio buttons in a group? If
so, any solutions that have worked for folks?

Hi
Are you using a fieldset for the radiobuttons, or the ARIA group role?
If you are using role="group" and the radiobutton group container is a
<ul> have you put role="presentation" on every <li> tag?
)if not, Vo will say "1 of 1" for each radiobutton).

This one has been around for a while, and I've heard suggestions to use aria-posinset + aria-setsize to explicitly set the radio 'X of Y' information in the accessibility tree.

I recommend filing a bug with Apple however, since this really should be reflected properly.

With iOS I do not experience this for radio buttons grouped using
fieldset-legend or role=group or role=radiogroup.
For the first two see:
http://mars.dequecloud.com/demo/aria-group.htm
For role=radiogroup, see:

When the above methods are used to group radio buttons / checkboxes,
a list may not be needed as a container IMO.
Thanks,
Sailesh Panchang
