So when blind people with a screenreader use it, the screenreader will show them the textfield even though it's "display:none". Maybe the fill it out, because they don't know what it is used for.

The default WordPress comment form is quite accessible; if you convert back to using the default form, you should be fine. I don't know, however, whether Weaver customizes that form -- so it's no guarantee. Voiceover is the screen reader that is built into Mac OS X. ]]></description> </item> <item> <title>After Gadget on "Labeling comment field (for accessibility)"</title> <link>http://wordpress.org/support/topic/labeling-comment-field-for-accessibility#post-4147994</link> <pubDate>Wed, 01 May 2013 02:21:25 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>After Gadget</dc:creator> <guid isPermaLink="false">4147994@http://wordpress.org/support/</guid> <description><![CDATA[One of my commenters on my new website today said: >>Testing the comment system using Voiceover.

My website is sharonwachsler.com and it uses Weaver Pro. Can someone tell me how I label the comment field so it's clear and navigable to blind readers?

I've been using it since 1.5 and have used it with Jaws including the latest version, Window Eyes, NVDA and VoiceOver. Your friend will do all of his management through the dashboard. It will help if he is very familiar with whichever screen reader he is using, because tabbing through the dashboard isn't the quickest way to get things done. I would also encourage your friend to come and post in the forums when he encounters things he needs help with. If he wants he can tag me with @arush so I will see it and can respond directly to him.
