While somewhat restricted in this by non-disclosure I can assure you
that there are many blind testers of VoiceOver further there are blind
engineers on he VoiceOVer development team. As far as I know I am the
only dyslexic on the testing cycle but I could be wrong about that.
Other companies, however are not so diligent as Apple in this regard.

This may be more a question for Greg, but has it really been shown
that no blind people were consulted in these sorts of tests /
processes? I.E. creation / testing of VO and other access related
SW?…
If that IS the case, why not put together some sort of group
petition of interested testers.
I personally have contacted Apple about this very thing, and they
said they'd keep me in mind when next looking for testers, but
perhaps a group approach might be in order?
-Any thoughts?…
