Re: Nielson Norman Group Accessibility was: Re: 170147_1.html (fwd)

not unless the others are typos too. <grin>

I actually find the screen reader one acceedingly low considering I am a
screen reader user myself and get about 80 percent.  I'd have to look at
their study but I am not inclined to pay that high a price for it.

One thing that is needed here though is to look at the relative
relationships.  a screen reader user needs to become familiar with
things in ways that a controll does not so that should have been taken
into account.  Now, if there are accessibility issues that is a
different thing.  Also, I don't think 104 constitutes a good sample
unless they are well distributed across technical capability and other
lines.

In the NNG report the control group is quoted to have needed
substantially longer than screen reader/screen magnifier users::

>      * Task completion rate: Screen reader users were able to complete
>        the tasks given to them 12.5% of the time; screen magnifier
users
>        21.4% of the time; control group 78% of the time.

While first reading, I read 7.8% for the control group, which would
correspond to my experiences. Could the 78% be a typo or scanning error?
