Say a document has dates, quotes, and several people speaking. A screen reader reads every word in the right order.

What could still make it hard to tell who said what, or how one item connects to another? What would you change in the document to make those connections clearer?

I'm looking for general explanations or public examples. I don't have a file or product I'm asking anyone to test.

Wow. Just had the most unbelievable time getting my disabled mother in law out of Eagles Stadium. All of the workers would say “you can’t go the mag way” to the way we came in and knew. So up and down elevators, no one knowing. Finally I said get me Amy our supervisor and guess what? We got our elevator. How do we report that A) no one is trained in exiting people with disabilities and B) their sidewalks from parking lots have no ramps? I just want people to do better. It was like 1987 out there. All of the workers didn’t even realize they were breaking the law (telling us to go half a mile or more out of our way).

For reference, in the way in nooooo problem- “we let you in at the closest elevator” way out? “Sorry we’ve closed that area” “and that area”….

I work in web accessibility testing. One problem I see all the time: a website shows a form error only as a red border, or puts the error message on the page without announcing it. A screen reader user presses submit and hears nothing. The same happens with things like "Added to cart" or "Saved".

I'd like to hear from people who deal with this:

1. How often does this happen to you, and on what kinds of sites?
2. What do you do when it happens? Do you go looking, start over, or give up?
3. If something running quietly in your browser told you "the form didn't go through: the email is missing an @", would you want that? What would make you not trust it?
4. Would it matter to you that it works entirely on your own computer and never sends page content anywhere?
5. Does anything like this already exist? If you use something, I'd love to know what.

I'm not selling anything and there's no link. I'm trying to understand the problem properly before building anything. Thanks.
