You might want to check out some things like https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/bh0vm0/emacspeak_how_the_blind_use_emacs/ https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/bh0vm0/emacspeak_how... https://stackoverflow.com/questions/118984/how-can-you-program-if-youre-blind https://stackoverflow.com/questions/118984/how-can-you-progr... and also contact some individual programmers with visual impairments. I don't have particular expertise in this area but I remember meeting a completely blind software developer in 1995 or 1996 (when presumably the tools available were much more limited!). He said that he had successfully pursued this career for a number of years already at that time. However, I think the things he was working with would be things that you'd consider more to be backend engineering. I also know a computer scientist who is blind and who has continued researching, publishing, and teaching, but as he works in theory, his work might also feel more backend-like. > - Besides a screen reader, what are some of the best tools for building software with limited vision? If you decide to learn Braille well, Braille terminals are still a thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refreshable_braille_display https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refreshable_braille_display (You might have seen one used in the movie Sneakers!) Some fluent Braille readers can use these terminals at very high speeds (although people who use screen readers also often get used to using their screen readers at extremely high speeds). > - Are there blind frontend engineers? I know you might not want to pigeonhole yourself and work specifically on disability-related projects, but a lot of companies are trying to ensure accessibility of their web sites and so are interested in having developers with specific disabilities to help make sure that that works out properly. I believe there are consultancies of people with specific impairments who develop (and test) UI for accessibility to users with similar disabilities.
