Ann,
Paul found that the form does work with the latest JAWS screen reader using
Firefox.
He made some important observations:
1. What is the survey for?
2. What is the purpose of the survey?
3. What information do I need to supply as an answer?
The text of the email below would do the trick as an introduction but that
needs to be on the actual form itself, not just in the email.
Words like âallergenâ when they mean âallergiesâ are important or the
user will not take the survey seriously.
Likewise, the misuses of âthisâ and other words in the text of the form
indicate poor spell-and grammar checking and will also give the responders the
impression that the survey is not serious.
Here is a possible rewrite of the note from their email:
An app for the visually impaired
We are creating an app that will verbally inform a visually impaired person of
the allergens in a food product. These ingredients include salt, nuts, sugar,
dairy , gluten, eggs, etc.
WE WOULD INVITE YOU to FILL OUT THIS FORM TO GIVE US SOME INFORMATION TO GUIDE
OUR WORK. (or something like that!)
After all that, I would not recommend giving them anyoneâs email. They would
need to post the survey on the various visual impaired users lists. These
include
vip_students@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:vip_students@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
vicsireland@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
fb-exchange@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
They should also send it to the members of VISPA.
That should give them a reasonable number of respondants.
All the best,
Cearbhall
