Programming for the Visually Impaired

Software
1

Hi everyone!

I work as a programmer and data scientist, and I recently became visually impaired. I’m learning how to use VoiceOver, but I’m wondering if anyone else in this community is in a similar situation and might share some of their experience.

I’m curious about

  • tools you use to get programming done
  • tips and tricks
  • online communities
  • anything you’d like to share

Hi! I’m a blind user and use VoiceOver myself. I’m not a programmer, but learning to program at the moment.

Tools I use: TextMate, Terminal, BBEdit recently (became accessible with VO in January this year).

In terms of community, I will recommend to check out applevis.com. There you will find all sorts of question related to VoiceOver. If you have any questions, feel free to ask the community.

Anything I would like to share. As I mentioned above, I’m VoiceOver user myself. I have a blog where I’m write from a perspective of a blind guy. Just Text.

If you have concrete questions, I will try my best to answer.
