Hi- While SVG is designed with accessibility in mind, the accessibility User Agents do not seem to be taking advantage of this. For example, JAWS does not currently seem to have any support for SVG. I have just spoken to Freedom Scientific (the makers of JAWS) on the phone, and sent them an email explaining how SVG should be used by JAWS, with an example file. It should be very easy for them to add such support. I encourage interested parties to write them and let them know that you want support for SVG. I am also interested in contacting other accessibility UAs that should support SVG. Please let me know about any others, so I can encourage them in the same way. Finally, I am eager to take into account any feedback on how the SVG spec could be made more accessible by these implementors or authors with specific advice. I am also available to discuss and explain the accessibility features we already have.
