Not that I’ve seen a blind user using Perkins in real life, but the videos I’ve seen all seem to demonstate the “screen away” mode referenced in this article: turn the phone away from you but cradled in two hands, position your fingers on the screen in roughly the correct position, then you’re ready to start typing. To a blind user, the screen becomes the operating mechanism, and the perception mechanism is typically headphones.

Although there is at least one hardware addon i'm aware of for blind users: https://www.iamhable.com/en-am https://www.iamhable.com/en-am
