Comment (by grahamarmfield):
Testing the Theme Customizer using Dragon Naturally Speaking 12 - with
Firefox 12 and IE9 on Windows 7 machine:
'''Firefox'''
It's possible to navigate with Dragon to most places in the WP admin -
including the Themes page. Then I can say "Click Customize" and I'm into
the Theme Customizer. Unfortunately using spoken commands won't achieve
much after that - it seems that Dragon is not really conscious of the
opened panel. All commands such as "Click Header Image" which should open
the Header Image panel yield either nothing, or unexpected results. It is
possible to use the move mouse commands in Dragon as well as the mouse
grid, but this is quite laborious when you'd expect the normal speech
commends to work.
One unfortunate by-product of having a button labelled Close is that when
the Dragon user says "Click Close" that is the default command to close
the browser window, and that is what happens.
'''IE9'''
The same situation as with Firefox. Dragon is obviously still conscious of
all the links beneath the panel as stating "Click Header Image" actually
closes the Customizer and takes user to Custom Header page under
Appearance.
I'm afraid I'm not an expert in how Dragon works so I've no insight into
why it doesn't recognise the clickable H3s - perhaps because they are not
actually links maybe? Once the panels are open it also doesn't recognise
the labels for the controls either. That might be down to the implicit
linking of the labels with the input fields rather than explicit.
