Dear [First Name]

Session 5: Assistive Technology Testing

In the previous two sessions you were introduced to a variety of automated testing tools, and a variety of manual strategies you can use to identify accessibility issues in web content. Though automated tools and manual tests are a good start for identifying potential barriers in web content, you will also generally want to test content with assistive technologies, and more specifically, test with a screen reader. Though there are other assistive technologies like voice recognition, and alternative input devices, most issues addressed for screen readers, will also address most issues that may arise when using other assistive technologies.

In this session you'll be introduced to a few more screen readers, with some more time spent using ChromeVox, in this case to navigate through some WAI-ARIA enabled content to better understand how it makes web interactivity accessible. We hope to hear about your experiences using ChromeVox with WAI-ARIA in this session's activity.

This session's tasks:
