Fwiw and you probably know but being almost legally blind puts you in a protected class, most employers would make exceptions to allow you to do your job. And it would be entirely reasonable to say that you need speech to text tools to work and don’t want to bother other coworkers.

Edit: was speaking from a US perspective before realizing you were in the UK, but would be surprised if you didn’t have even better protections

Extra edit: this hit the front page a while back about a blind developers dev setup: https://www.vincit.com/blog/software-development-450-words-p... it may be outdated at this point but maybe worth reaching out for best practices these days?

Sorry for the late reply. Thank you for the consideration and for your research too. I am actually largely fine with development as a whole. I've created many workarounds that make working about as comfortable as it can be.

My current problem is different: getting interviews at all.

no worries, I kind of figured you had this all figured out already re: dev workflow.

Wishing your best of luck on your search in any case.
