Do accessible user agents mean that authors no longer need to produce accessible Web content?

0

No. Authors of Web content, and developers of Web software, have complementary roles. For instance, to meet the needs of some users with visual disabilities, authors must provide a text description of an image; browsers cannot invent a meaningful description of an image. Once an author has provided a description, browsers, together with assistive technologies, can present the description as either synthesized speech or braille.
