[Athen] Google form accessibility info

[Bossley, Peter A. (Pete)]

I just made one last week, so I do have some recent experience to share.
Making sure that you enter appropriate titles and help text are basically all you have to do for screen reader users. Fields are then all created properly with fieldsets, legends, labels, etc. Also Google Forms does pretty decent error notification.
That having been said, the form I created was a relatively simple 1 pager for my wedding RSVPs so the testing I did was not of every feature available.

Karen,

We have create couple of forms using Google form tool. Since this past winter Google announced they forms were accessible – which was around the same time we started investigating form building tools. The only issue I have that is not highly customizable like Adobe Live cycle , which has now gone away (someone correct me if I am wrong). The newer version of Adobe Professional has an integrated  form builder tool.

Hi Colleagues,
Does anyone have any up to date information on creating accessible forms with Google Forms?
Thanks!
