Doing Web Accessibility for Screen Magnifier Users
A good overview with specific suggestions ...
"The needs of screen magnifier users are overlooked when implementing web accessibility on to a website. Screen magnifiers are used by partially sighted web users to increase the size of on-screen elements.
Some users will magnify the screen so that only three to four words are able to appear on the screen at any one time. You can try using a screen magnifier yourself by downloading the Zoomtext screen magnifier from http://www.aisquared.com/ for a free 30 day trial.
The good news is that some of the basic principles for improving accessibility and usability for screen magnifiers users also increase usability for everyone. To help, I've listed six ways to improve accessibility and usability for screen magnifier users:
1. Don't embed text within images
2. Clearly separate sections of the page
3. Use clear and descriptive headings often
And More." continued ... (Via Usability News)
