On the one hand, I think OCR, text to voice, image to text, … has improved quite a lot.
On the other hand more and more stuff is locked away in apps, and javascript blob websites, so I can imagine it’s harder for accessibility tools to access information.
But I’m just guessing. Do any of you know first or second hand?
Bssed on WebAIM Million report, it could be said that it has improved marginally (https://webaim.org/projects/million/). Yes, maybe the tools that people use are getting better, but the native experience is not getting better a lot.
From the report the biggest accessibility pitfall is still poor contrast. It’s sad that user would need tools to access information that only has poor contrast.
