And yes, the section on Flash was a bit disappointing, and I am afraid that people will read it, and because of the way that the question was phrased, think that Flash is hard to navigate with JAWS. Which is not true, quite the opposite actually. It is just that not that much Flash content out there is accessible. And Flash content, when not programmed right, becomes inaccessible more quickly than HTML content. Let's keep spreading the word on accessible Flash! Good points!

It's wonderful to see reaction and feedback from so many people. We can't wait to release more details and analysis of the survey - we have 100's of pages of text comments to sort through. I very much appreciate your insight into images. I think this is generally the response from screen reader users that understand the implications there would be if ALL images were described. It's much too soon to suggest that this needs to be done, even if the survey results seem to suggest that some screen reader users would prefer it. Thank you for your insight into our survey.
