Landmark Navigation: How Users Jump Around
Experience moving region-to-region with a screen reader.
Jumping, Not Scrolling
A sighted user glances around a page. A screen reader user instead jumps region to region using landmarks you defined.
The Landmark Shortcut
Most screen readers offer a key to cycle landmarks. In NVDA the D key hops to the next region without touching the mouse.
