Hello!
I am a #blind developer who wants to learn more about #network technologies and #networking in general.
I know two tools for network simulation and learning: #ciscopackettracer and #GNS3.
But as I said earlier, I am totally blind and use #screenreader to access my computer.
So I have two questions: are there some screenreader users who have used one of mentioned tools and what was your experience?
And the second one: if there are people from #cisco or #gns development team, what is your official position regarding #accessibility for blind professionals?

p.s. If someone can recommend other known to be accessible for blind solutions for network simulations and learning I would be happy to read your responses.

The Cisco Academy for the Vision Impaired (CAVI) offer online Cisco / Networking courses for screen reader users: ciscovision.org/ Looks like they're not currently offering anything, but would be worth reaching out to see what they've got coming up

@NVAccess Thank you very much!
I will periodically check their website and look for something new.
