Ask HN: How blind people can use the internet on desktop?

5 pointsby amirmalekiabout 5 years ago
My father is blind, from the moment he was born, but blindness does not define his ambitions. He has a phone and a desktop, both equipped with screen reader applications (NVDA, JAWS, and Google TTS).<p>He has almost no problem using desktop apps, he can use certain mobile apps (touch, android), but he has problems using internet on his desktop (using internet in mobile phone is a big pain and of almost no use, if you don&#x27;t know how disastrous it is...).<p>So my question is that how blind people can use internet, and what are the best workarounds?<p>Is there a certain sites that are helping with hot-keys and shortcuts?<p>How blind programmers&#x2F;hackers do their job?
