Oh hey, I have question for you then. Are you using any braille system with your computer? Or is it a kind of voice reader thing you have going on? What do you use for reading posts and comments on Lemmy?
I use my phone a lot more frequently than I use my computer and I use the TalkBack screen reader on my phone primarily. I can read and write Braille of course and have been able to do so since I was a little kid but I don't do it very often primarily because I've always found reading to be slow for me and so I prefer audio. I'm able to better absorb information through audio than through reading it directly and always have been.
Edit: I'm not totally blind so my primary navigation is through memorization of where things are and then to read posts and stuff like that that's long I use the screen reader. So, for example, on my home screen, I know where I've placed my app icons, so I can just easily navigate to them, and in settings, for example, I know roughly where the menus are that I'm looking for, and so can navigate to them quickly. I also use the magnification gestures a lot. So, primarily, I navigate with memorization, magnification gestures, and screen reader for longer stuff.
How fast do you listen?
I don't have a specific words per minute count, but definitely quite fast.
Can you actually understand mumble rappers?
Seriously though I find these accessibility discussions very informative and they make me think about how I develop things and share information. Thank you for sharing.
You mean the fast rappers like DMX? Actually, no. I can't. They even speak too fast for me.
