Thanks for making this discussion thinger.

I read the post and saw it was very Apple/Safari heavy by screen shots, linked resources, and the demonstration video. I asked about a PR on the socials because I wanted to add other screen reader user guides to the Useful resources section, so I will do it here (but far more sloppily):

• NVDA User Guide (the Browse Mode section may be most useful for readers)
• Getting Started with JAWS (the Web Browsing Keystrokes also likely best for readers).
• Narrator keyboard commands and touch gestures
• Use TalkBack gestures and Use TalkBack to browse the web with Chrome
• Orca Reading Commands (though Structural Navigation Commands is probably more relevant for your post)

NVDA and JAWS are by far the most popular desktop screen readers, and generally we should encourage developers to test on those first as a result. I regularly counsel my clients to be wary of VoiceOver-only training materials for the same reason (never mind constant Safari bugs and VO quirks).

I yanked these from the screen readers portion of my post at https://adrianroselli.com/2022/11/your-accessibility-claims-are-wrong-unless.html#SRs.

Related, the videos offered by Tetralogical show screen readers in use in a non-technical way and they also offer a British Sign Language version; no idea if referencing those is kosher: https://tetralogical.com/blog/2021/09/29/browsing-with-a-desktop-screen-reader/

Thanks so much, @aardrian. Adding these would be incredible.

Ace. The passive voice suggests that someone other than you will be adding them. I don't have access, however.
