    In January 2014, WebAIM conducted a survey of preferences of screen reader users. We received 1465 valid responses to this survey. This was a follow-up survey to the original WebAIM Screen Reader User Survey of January 2009 and the follow-up surveys from October 2009, December 2010, and May 2012. Additional surveys were conducted in July 2015 and October 2017.

    A few disclaimers and notices:

    • Totals may not equal 100% due to rounding.
    • Total responses (n) for each question may not equal 1465 due to respondents not answering that particular question.
    • The sample was not controlled and may not represent all screen reader users.
    • We hope to conduct additional surveys of this nature again in the future. If you have recommendations or questions you would like us to ask, please contact us.
