How NVDA & OSARA are empowering blind people globally - Audio described Version: https://youtube.com/watch?v=N-y3yomLLSk&si=xiibf5ZxJzrlDnES #accessibility
@vick21 I understand this is not a good way to measure by any mean, but regardless let's do some math! Globally there are 43M blind people , According to WHO. There are over 250k NVDA users in 175 countries, According to NVDA creators. Let's just say 300k. According to screen reader survey #10, NVDA counts for 37.7%. That means only 1.85% of blind people have access to screen reader. 0.3M/0.377%/43M*100 That's very sad! :( Let me know if I epically failed this math. lol #GAAD
@chikim @miki @pixelate Also, I would say that Web Aim survey is an outlier in this formula. The sample is too small and it's not entirelyclear how representative! :) Then, as pointed out above, a lot of blind people have nothing to do with technology because of age or economical status. I think NVDA stats are probably quite good, I wish we had the same from other screen reader vendors′. This would give us better idea.
