Once again, the survey continues to ignore screen readers for
other operating systems. It's nice they actually mention more
than one for android, but each time I take this survey, I've
commented that orca and other linux screen readers should be
included (or at least given room to be typed in), and it never
happens. Of course, now they're not even bothering to ask what
screen readers you use, just the one you use most often. Most
often (these days) I use NVDA, but I still use voice over, (both
on IOS, which they did cover, and on OSX), which again, they did
cover, but I also use speakup, orca, pispeak, and (once in a great
while) a dos screen reader. None of these options are even
pretended at in this survey. This survey has become a list of the
big three, and who uses the most of each one, and no mention or
care is given to additional resources. If they're trying to find
out what screen readers folks are using altogether, (not just the
big three) then they need to redesign the survey to allow folks to
at least mention that they use other operating systems, even if it
isn't their primary one. Last time they offered this survey in
2015, I couldn't fill it out, because I was using a raspberry pi
as my main system, and they didn't give me an option to indicate
such anywhere on the survey, only in the comments at the end,
which is extremely poor survey design. I nice question with what
screen readers do yo use regularly (check all that apply) would
have worked nicely, then have a checkbox for other with a place to
type in your other choice. This would seem fundamental to me, but
these folks have gotten it wrong for (apparently) 7 survey
cycles. Apparently, they aren't studying what screen readers are
used in general, just how popular a select few of them are, and
that doesn't serve any purpose except to slant the numbers in
favor of those select few options. I don't think I'll be filling
out this survey anymore. On 9/29/2017 3:19 PM, Brandon Keith

I tend to agree. A lot of them were missing as well, also a lot of the operating systems such as linux were missing. I believe they are using this toward consumers who are not as savvy, like myself. Also ther is so many higns wrong with this thing it's not even funny. I've indicated this to them iver the years but they apparently don't change their tune.

Um duh Travis! Who in the hell useds Linux? Um not me. Its a
given dude. Not a lot of blind folks are uber geeks like yourself.
I've never used said OS and don't plan on it. Apple themselves put
up a burier for teh cost of their damn product the iMacc. Do you
think most of us have a thousand dollars laying around for a Mac
with VO? On 10/2/2017 9:17 PM, Travis Siegel

Hi all! I participated and said NVDA, because that is what I use most of the time. Go NVDA, and thank you all. Two years ago, I hardly used NVDA, and now it is my screen reader of choice most of the time, and I use over 20 add ons to make NVDA my favorite screen reader. Thanks so much for all of your hard work, developers. David Moore
