Mapping of Screen Reader Compatibility (Jaws, NVDA, VoiceOver, etc.) with different versions of browsers and support for WCAG ARIA.

Shows how different WAI-ARIA attributes behave in commonly used screen readers.

The results include two types of test:

Expected to work - these tests show support when accessibility features are used correctly

SVG Graphics are great in general because they are both dynamic and also very small. This means you can have a large image "visually" yet the actual size in bytes will be quite small.
