How does that work anyways? Do the screen readers just speak ultra-fast? Do they say things like "parenthesis" or "right bracket?" Is there some kind of audio coding of whats on the screen?
- thedirt0115 8y agoYes, they speak ultra fast and literally say the punctuation verbatim. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWXebEeGwn0&vl=en https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWXebEeGwn0&vl=en for an example ("How a Blind Developer uses Visual Studio"). You can hear it saying "right brace", etc. edit: typo and clarify what I'm linking to.
- uglycoyote 8y agoAfter watching this I can kind of understand how a blind person would write new code. But I find so much of working on a team with a large codebase is about hunting through mass quantities of code without really knowing what you are looking for, which always seemed like a very visual process to me. Sometimes I find myself scrolling through a 2000 line file looking for a particular shape of the code that I would not even be able to articulate but know it when I see it. I'd be really curious to know how a blind person navigates a large, unfamiliar codebase.
