| Books Voiceover iOS | FAIL | The main difficulty is that Voiceover does not announce the text to be activated as a link. On tapping it the focus moves to top of target page and the return link also brings focus to the bar chart. |
| Bookshare Reader NVDA Chrome Windows | FAIL | The backlink takes you to the top of the file, not to the exact location where you left off reading. |
| Bookshare Reader Chrome macOS | PASS | The link to the extended description is not read with Read Aloud, and a blinking "circle" working icon appears. Manually pressing the link then using the read aloud works fine. Navigating back to content also works fine. |

| Bookshelf Voiceover Safari macOS | PASS | The link does take you to the new page with the extended description. Upon arrival you are told "Description of Bar Chart" which is correct and you can start moving into the content directly which was completely accessible. The link back to the original image worked correctly and you are placed where you were originally on the link to the extended description. |
| Bookshelf macOS | PASS | This works as expected. The link takes the display to the extended description and the other link takes it back again to the correct spot. |

| Play Books Voiceover iOS | FAIL | On using the back link the Voiceover reading cannot be started from correct position even though it is visible on screen. |
| Play Books TalkBack Android | FAIL | The focus does not go to the desired heading although image description can be read from beginning since it is the only content on the page. The back link takes focus to the top of page where link was activated. |
| RedShelf Jaws Chrome Windows | PASS | Unlike the hyperlink test in non-visual test book, the bakc link here does bring the focus to the right location. It could have something to do with the link text being a separate paragraph or at the end of the document. |
| Texthelp ePub Reader Edge Windows | FAIL | The link to the extended description does not work. |
| Thorium 3 Jaws Windows | PASS | The link and the backlink works as expected. |

If you are using Read aloud it ends at the Link to the extended description but you can't press enter or spacebar you must click on the link. Then the extended description starts to read automatically which is excepted, but again clicking on the back link brings you back to the original location except it starts reading from the top of the page again. |
