Libby to ask Andrew Arch about screen reader usage.

joolswood commented 8 years ago

@joolswood also to talk to UI-KIT team about rendering.

libbyv commented 8 years ago

Agree that up to 9999 no commas and then commas used ie 10,000 - Andrew to double confirm.

AndrewArch commented 7 years ago

Has this number pattern been usability/readability tested? I'm concerned that not including a comma in numbers with 4 digits makes them harder to understand - especially for people with reading and learning difficulties (ie familiarity helps recognition helps understanding)

Happy to reopen this ticket if needs be @AndrewArch @libbyv

AndrewArch commented 7 years ago

As I recall I checked for screen readers - not a problem for them. I obviously didn't think more broadly :(

libbyv commented 7 years ago

Agree it would be good to check that Andrew. Thanks

breaks for long numbers - Similarly, it is easier to recall 3 digits over 4, as both these graphs demonstrate - http://ux.stackexchange.com/questions/74851/ideal-breaks-for-long-numbers#answer-75318
