  • blind users using screen readers
  • blind users using Braille readers
  • low-vision users using screen magnifiers
  • motor-impaired users
• Test data collected mainly in the United States, with some additional studies in Japan to ensure the international applicability of the recommendations
  • A total of 104 users participated in the usability studies:
