Trenton Moss published an article about usability for screen reader users at dmeurope.com:
“Simply ensuring your website is accessible to screen reader users is unfortunately not enough to ensure these users can find what they’re looking for in a reasonably quick and efficient manner. Even if your site is accessible to screen reader users, its usability could be so incredibly poor that they needn’t have bothered coming to your site.
Fortunately, there are plenty of simple-to-implement guidelines you can follow, which not only drastically improve usability for screen reader users, but for all web users:
- Descriptive headings
- Descriptive link text
- Lists
- Logical linearization
- Short, succinct ALT text
- Short, front-loaded paragraphs
- Descriptive page title”
