Actually, that wouldn't be terribly bad. The only thing that would concern
me about this would be two things. Firstly, how sensitive the touch pad
would be, and secondly, how you'd find F5 to turn on Voiceover without
activating other things along the way.
I'm confident that Apple will think of something in regards to this, but I
just off hand can't think of what.

Subject: Re: bar instead of function keys on new Mac Book Pros?
lol, so what are you gonna do, swipe to each function key and double tap,
all while holding down appropriate modifier keys? :) no thanks, I’ll stick
with my normal function keys.

If the rumors are indeed true, each key will have no tactile boundary for
a visually impaired person to be able to distinguish from, thus making
the touch bar a complete accessibility nightmare, unless they re-engineer
OS X or whatever they’re going to call it next, so that the bar has some
type of voiceover support built in.

Hi there,
Rumor has it that the soon forth coming Mac book pros will feature a
touch bar instead of function keys on the keyboard. This raises an
interesting question. Assuming that Voice Over is turned off on any
one of the new Mac book Pros that a blind user goes up to, how is a
blind person supposed to turn on Voice Over if there are no physical
function keys but instead a touch bar? I think maybe I can guess. If
a blind person needs to turn on Voice OVer, it should be possible by
pressing VO+touch anyware on the bar and that should do it. Or else,
triple tap the bar to turn Voice OVer on. I can almost imagine the
e-mails now.

blind built-in
