>>62331707
damn.....
Are you retarded? Blind people use this shit.
braile? more like gayile.

as a /web designer/ i feel a little inside every time i don't assign proper screen reader related browser html attributes to elements containing icon-font glyphs so they probably turn out as a garbled mess to anyone blind actually using the site. but i'm lazy, fuck blind people.
>>62331868
>ever using icon fonts
fuck web designers.
>>62331868
You're not lazy, you're just a javashitter pajeet.
>>62331979
web desiggn is an honorable profession ok
Blind people give me feels I can't describe. I feel like crying.

What's worse: born blind and not able to experience sight whole life, living in the dark all life
OR
Lose eyesight and know what exactly one is missing and realising one won't ever experience sight?
>>62332731
I'm blind in one eye and sometimes when I'm alone I close my good eye and realise how lucky I am to have sight. In the end, lack of sight is the main problem, and in both scenarios it doesn't matter if person was born blind or lost it at some point as people get used to it. Both are equally worse, but the second one might take time to adjust to the new life.
>>62332731
First I would think
If I went blind, I could still imagine things. I'd have plenty of reference of I have proper assistance
Can't even imagine how someone born blind would "see" the world in their mond

Serious question, wouldn't text to speech be an easier way for blind people to navigate?
>>62333340
don't they use both?
also

>on an imageboard
hmmm.... yeah
>>62333340
Too slow. It'd be like calling support and listening to an automated answering machine iterate through dozens of options.
>>62333846
So as far as I understand, the TtS speaking rate can be adjusted. The alternative, braille, also means the user would have to read over each letter in a sequence. There's no way that would be quicker over speaking.
>>62332731
first one is worse
in the second scenario you know you aren't missing much since people are ugly and everything looks like shit anyways

Braille can be read quickly and you can skip to arbitrary lines at will. Text to speech doesn't have that benefit.
Do blind people really browse /g/? Do you even understand reaction images? Also, fuck you blind cripple faggot.
>>62333846
I remember seeing a video about a blind developer working for Microsoft, and his TtS speed was insane. I mean, like, I couldn't even comprehend what I was listening to. It was so fast that it just sounded like gibberish to me. I guess when your career depends on you processing words quickly, you learn to adapt.
>>62333992
That's really cool. I don't know it could be read that quickly.

Not at all surprising considering the heavy mechanical nature of the thing, that is 8 little plastic nubs on each character that has to be individually addressed that is a hell of a lot of IO and tiny solenoids that go into it not to mention the software work needed to make it run

The technology required to raise the dots and keep them in place is very underdeveloped and expensive. There's a new display that uses an improved and cheaper technology that's only 500/600 bucks.

That's fucking bullshit and you know it. On software side it's fucking primitive as it can be because it's basically small monochrome display. Hardware side is basic as hell too. Hell, you can buy Yamaha player piano that can play itself moving it's keys with various tempo and gradation (and it requires way more intriciate mechanics) for the same fucking price:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/YAMAHA-Disklavier-PIANO-Mark-2-XG-Series-5186660-EBONY-Documents-MINT-/162584895170
The whole thing is complete fucking scam, and they put such a price only because there almost no competition and market is very small.
>>62331693
How does this even work
>>62335778
small market = few units sold = bigger production cost per unit
