## Accessibility supported

Boiled-down, accessibility supported means that in order for a technique to be valid, it must work on all viable platforms for all assistive technology that are widely used and freely available (paraphrased).
Accessibility supported means that in order for a technique to pass, it must work in some predefined set of browsers and assistive technologies. For axe-core this means that for a screen reader, browser, or environment to be added to the list of supported combinations, the following two criteria must be met:

1. Be used by more than 1% of users (currently extrapolated from the [WebAims Screen Reader User Survey](https://webaim.org/projects/screenreadersurvey8/#browsercombos))
1. Introduce new coverage for a screen reader, browser, or environment not currently accessibility supported

We currently test the following AT combinations for support

1. VoiceOver and Safari on OS X
1. VoiceOver and Safari on iOS
1. JAWS and IE11 on Windows
1. JAWS and Chrome on Windows
1. NVDA and Firefox on Windows
1. Talkback and Chrome on Android
1. Dragon and Firefox on Windows
