I have worked with some Blind clients being paid to fix computer problems in general. i find the Microsoft windows users Prefer "windows eyes" over JAWS. I have a Blind friend and have invested time with Knoppix adreine and the latest most recent is with Sonar Linux. http://sonargnulinux.com/ (Gnome with Orca, based on arch) Orca is pretty decent using firefox. We recently added in Kodi with the screen reader addon and its a whole new world.

Orca I think does not get enough attention.

Alot of software I us is difficult to screen read due to (lazy) programmers just not labling things. nothing worse then moving around a software and all you hear is push button, push button and not knowing what they do. When you take the time to leave feedback it seems to be like talking to a wall no one does anything.

I am going to make sure I label and be more descriptive now inspired by this section of comments on my own web pages.
