Hi misc@!
I am looking to understand / enhance the OpenBSD experience for blind users.
Do we have any blind users reading misc that can offer any insight into their
usecases / pain points / work flows / wants? I am sure OpenBSD is lacking on
this front, so use cases in *nix would also be helpful.

Hope that helps! Not a blind user here... Also, was hoping someone
more knowledgeable would step in to answer. As far as I can tell,
there is no a11y support in OpenBSD's native console, so it seems blind
users can only use graphical applications under OpenBSD.
Thanks for the info!
I am not blind but until recent surgery, I was severely visually
handicaped and I offer one piece of advice from my experience: Ensure
that every piece of text can be increased in size (or the underlying
fonts increased). It was very frustrating to have to reach for my
magnifying glasses when informative/error messages came up much smaller
that my default setting.
