what operating system do blind people use?
I see what you're trying to do and I'm not falling for it
I use windows.
OS X because it has the best accessibility options.
TempleOS
Linux

Isn't Windows running the show when it comes to accessibility?
>>54330618
There's no way there's any form of accessibility support on that DE
>>54330585
Have a blind friend. Can 100% confirm this. Apparently it is the most highly recommended systems and she has an iPhone and a Mac and uses it perfectly.
Windows support is apparently not as good, especially when you use anything non-standard.
>>54330642
Maybe you shouldn't speak about things you don't know about.
>>54330471
Knoppix CLI and TTS
>>54330692
Enlighten me.

how the fuck does a blind person use irc
>>54330770
What more do you want to know? My post kind of covered that Mac is great for blind users.
>>54330798
I would imagine they use text-to-speech, and possibly speech-to-text software
>>54330592
>TempleOS
totally agree, using this will tap you into doG's wavelength and you will see again to shitpost on /g/
>>54330802
Was thinking you were referring to >>54330618
>>54330814
that would be top kek on a netsplit
>>54330471
regular windows (normally xp) with jaws installed
>>54330868
It definitely sucks.
>>54330814
They have braille machines, there are drivers in the linux source tree.
Seems like it would be more convenient than text to speech.
>>54330585
My wife is blind and uses OS X for the computer but Android for phone. The Android text to speech and speech to text is a lot better according to her.
>>54330692
zip it faggot, osx for the blind? polease, applel cant even get stuff done right for normies. its windows all around just cause the software layer for the impaired is easier to hack ontop of windows (windows itself already has some good bases)

>They have braille machines,
even better,
##linux
1500 users
netsplit...
>>54330936
is it possible to use a braille machine whilst in a fap channel on irc?
>>54330993
Why wouldn't it be?
>>54330993
>fap channel
I'm going to be regretting asking this, but... what exactly is a fap channel on IRC?
>>54330793
THIS GUY ISNT BLIND?
>>54331027
If he says he's legally blind, he's legally blind. What, you think he just went on the internet one day and decided to lie?
>>54331183
>What, you think he just went on the internet one day and decided to lie?

Knoppix has a special version for the blind because the developer's wife is blind.
>>54331183
legally blind != blind
>>54331023
sometimes you're mom is on rizon and we chat xDD
>>54330798
he uses a screen reader
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_reader
>>54330471
Vinux is a Linux distribution which has been specially designed for blind and partially sighted users. Specifically it is a remastered version of the popular Ubuntu distribution and provides users with two screen readers, two full-screen magnifiers, global font-size and colour changing facilities. The system also supports USB Braille displays.

I have a blind friend who uses the text to speech on his android phone, he speeds it up like 100X though so it sounds like total jiberish to anyone else listening. It's gotten to the point where the phone is talking faster than most people can read, I'm amazed at how he's learnt to keep up with it...
>>54331858
This. There is not much I envy but this fast-listening skill is.
Windows and blinds are a perfect combination.
>>54330471
Any OS programmed in C#
>>54330585
I dont think so i have a blind professor's class and he uses dragon speaking program on windows
Grandfather wasn't 100% blind but used Windows with 300-350% scaling and rubber dots on some keys on the keyboard. Also their's some software that allows you to use a microphone with it and some glasses with a cam that see's what's on the screen and it describes it for you. Don't remember the name of these softwares.
>>54330926
Except it's true.
>its windows all around just cause the software layer for the impaired is easier to hack ontop of windows
like everything else with windows, it's just a hack
