I would love any links to articles/archived polemic/research studies/the
appropriate list... If anybody here has actual experience of a screen
reader, I would be overjoyed to hear from them.


Joe Clark or James Edwards aka Brothercake are practicing screen reader
testing with various some-technology-enabled sites to test AT
behaviour.[1][2] (Plus there's one more on this from Bruce Lawson.[3])

If you're looking for a dedicated forum, you could try
AccessifyForum.com [4] ...

BTW I use VoiceOver on MacOS X pretty often. The same goes for inverted
color scheme or zoomed screen - my eyes simply hurt after a whole day
stuck to a display...

The issue I see nowadays is where the assistive technology doesn't quite
catch up with the recent best-practice (sorry to lean it all towards
JS/DOM...). One thing is having an accessible content, however I really
believe the AT should be built in the system in such way that it could
really handle all the information a sighted user could get, and process
it for the screen reader. Derek, I'm talking about non-linear DOM
changes or generally event announcement. I think we quite agreed on that
with Tomas Caspers and Brothercake.

BTW a half year ago I commented on this topic under Garrett's
article[5], and maybe made the same mistake of mentioning turning JS off
as Derek did some time ago if I'm not mistaken.
