I've read some stories about blind people who code successfully, but can't really imagine debugging using screen reader. Well, even reading, and navigating through a code sounds frightening.
Can anybody here share their experience first-hand?
Although author doesn't go into much detail about difficulties of learning how to efficiently use those screen-reading tools, I liked that he gives a broad picture of blind people's everyday code-related routine.
BTW, how does one understand all that synthesized gibberish?
I bet it could give you a headache :D
Yea I would like to know how he understands the synthesized speech @ 450 wpm. I'm not sure what the WPM rate is, but when I listen to lectures anything over 1.5-2x normal speed is usually where I start missing stuff. If someone talks faster than normal, even 2x is too much for me.
