Yes, I agree that it would be useful to see a breakdown of Windows screen readers independent of the general section on desktop screen reader usage. I'd like to see a seprate section on Windows SR as well as the disclaimer about the Mac's choice of one.

Subject: [WebAIM] Idea/thoughts for future Screen Reader Survey

Reposting this from mastodon ... seems I'm not the only one who'd welcome this. An idea perhaps for the next SR survey?

one thing that i'd love the WebAim screen reader survey to differentiate better is how results break down by OS (mainly to be able to have more segmented "on Mac, VoiceOver is effectively the only screen reader used"
or similar). it might then also reframe some of the other statements/results, e.g. "71.6% of respondents use more than one desktop/laptop screen reader" ... I suspect those 71.6% are effectively Windows users?

...

i'd imagine a nice interface where you can switch between "global"
results, and then to specific OSs and have the relevant subsections just filtered for a particular OS.
