• a really weird dream I had, any thoughts?

  I feel I should mention that I'm blind, so my dreams can get pretty weird from what I've heard. I don't see in them, sadly, if you wanted to know, and I'm using what simplifies to the classic computer voice to type this. Specifically, [nvda](https://nvaccess.org). Source: 5 months ago

• made an actually good sounding song yesterday

  Last thing; since it gets asked a lot, I type and go on my computer with [nvda](https://nvaccess.org). Just thought I would add it here because I don't feel like answering this one again hahaha. Source: 5 months ago

• Any way to contact the developers without signing up to their forum?

  I found a bug though with screen reader support and the numbering of items in playlists with foobar2000 on Windows. I'm blind, and using NVDA on my PC to access foobar2000. You can read more about NVDA here. https://nvaccess.org. Source: 12 months ago

• Totally blind software engineer, searching for a motherboard for a CPU heavy workstation

  Window Eyes... Now that's a blast from the past! I use (and contribute code to) NVDA. The Pi KVM looks interesting! Source: about 1 year ago

  Most blind folks use a screen reader: there are a few out there - my personal favourite is nvda but there are many more available depending on platform.

Other than that, uh, on a keyboard? Source: over 1 year ago

• we're two blind gamers. Ask us anything!

  The game is a turn-based battle simulator. It's played by adding fighters, allocating them to teams and selecting moves for them. There are also a few other modes, like arena mode, where you face several pre-set opponents. The more fighters you have, the more fighters you will battle in the arena.

• Questions on durability and key rollover from a totally blind screen reader user

  I'm totally blind and use a screen reader. I'm a very heavy keyboard user (don't use a mouse) looking for a durable solution with good typing feedback to use for work/study (I'm a computer science student) and general computer usage. Source: almost 3 years ago

• the Psilocybin experience for someone blind from birth

  For sure, there are days where I decide that being blind has gotten a little too boring, and I turn the switch to "off" to suddenly regain sight in ways I never have before. :) The reality I'm afraid is a bit more... Down to earth. Screen readers exist on all phones (if you have an Android it'll be called Talkback, iPhone, VoiceOver) and on computers, too. They must be built into every phone by many regional...

• Blind Redditors who have used the Braille feature at drive up ATMs, how was your experience?

  P.S. Before you ask, I was able to "read" this with text-to-speech overlay software NVDA, which you can find out more about over on r/blind and nvaccess.org I hope this helped! Source: almost 3 years ago
