Assistive technology shouldn’t be a mystery box

As someone who works daily to improve the accessibility of the product I'm working on, this article is spot on.

So often we will wonder if the code is wrong or if there is a bug in the assistive tool. Or we code something differently than we'd like to make it work better across more screen readers.

And then we look at assistive technology and things go dark and confusing. If you ask most web developers how screenreaders work and what to do to enable voice recognition things get awry quick. You either hear outdated information or that people haven’t even considered looking at that.
