I had a blind coworker. I was really jealous when he connected a Raspberry Pi to a power bank on the airplane, connected his headphones and a keyboard and started working in the cramped seat that wouldn't fit a screen. Seems like a very nifty way to work and you can just keep your computer in your pocket.
And yes, the screen reader went super fast. I had trouble following it but I think that's mostly because I wasn't expecting what it was doing, whereas he was controlling the cursor so he knew more or less what he was hearing.
