How do you book your ticket (Train, Bus or even a movie ) Online ? (self.Blind)
submitted by lifehacker25
I was just wondering if there is any software or any hardware which makes simple things like booking a ticket online easier for a blind person or visually challenged person.
My friend is blind and he needs to keep booking tickets as he needs to frequently travel. So, I was wondering if there is any assertive technology so that he can book his ticket online all y himself.

What does he use for regular computer use? If JAWS, then I would just suggest going to whichever company sell's the ticket's website, and seeing if it's compatible.
If not, I find IOS devices with Voice Over are pretty decent for online shopping and alike. Most websites have a "reader" mode, which gets rid of all the fancy graphics and alike that complicate typical web surfing on an IOS device.

Does your friend use a screen reader? I am not a full time screen reader user but if I were to guess the booking sites should be screen reader accessible. Maybe try IOS Voiceover and the individual service's app, or another free screen reader like Mac Voiceover on Mac or NVDA on Windows.
