based user testing.
Presenters: Birkir R. Gunnarsson and Hlynur M. Hreinsson
Sept. 28 at 11 AM Pacific, noon Mountain, 1 PM Central and 2 PM Eastern
We have yet to find a way to slap a grade on happiness, but in the summer
of 2010 we created a set of practical test cases across
7 categories, to help us better match screen readers to our users. The
methodology allows us to meaningfully test and compare
screen readers as diverse as:
•Jaws for Windows,
•NVDA,
•Orca,
•Voiceover.
