Tag Cloud Ideas

how to make tag cloud accessible?

how many tags associated with each tag is presented or we can use a text that describe how popular is that tag.
we can just use classes to define the different sizes (we can identify there sizes explicitly using the class attribute).

use of an ordered list as the tag cloud structure, or play with voice volume when the font size changes.

screen reader user doesn't get when a size "step" has changed

sort by frequency is another solution.

To make tag cloud accessible we could make the screen reader read the tags according to the font size (not in the alphabetical order). Also it is important to provide the users with tags and related tags in an accessible way.
range of class names from not-popular through ultra-popular
