Hey, does anyone have a list of resources for someone who is rapidly losing their sight and isn't aware of anything like screen readers or other blind accessibility software? I can suggest a few things I've heard about, but it would just be the two of us googling, really. #Accessibility

I suspect @matt would have some links to share.

Hi, happy to help. To make my recommendations more focused, what computer and phone platform(s) does this person already use?

@matt @dvogel Not sure. I can ask once he's a little less overwhelmed with everything and has a chance to answer his texts.

Hi! You've got lots of great suggestions in your thread - we would second (third?) the recommendation to talk to your local blindness agency who will know what specifically local resources there are. For someone on Windows, NVDA is a FREE, popular screen reader. It is possible to get going with the included Quick Start Guide, but we would also recommend our "Basic Training for NVDA" as more in-depth training - that isn't free, but costs only $32 AUD (~$20 USD).
