Accessibility and Reddit (self.Blind)
submitted by bright_side1977
I'm at a conference for accessibility in tech (my son is blind and making an app to help blind people access restaurant menus). Reddit has a table at the conference. They're here to learn best practices in accessibility and inclusion. Just wanted to share.

Wow, good to hear! And they added audio CAPTCHAs just a couple weeks ago.

Have you guys used KNFB reader? It already does this, but for all types of text. Might be what you need?
> Reddit has a table at the conference.
Awesome!

Are you at the tech inclusion conference here in San Francisco? I was just there! I dropped my resume off with them seeing if they wanted any more accessibility specialists to help make everything better. :-) it was a great career fair, and they had cited guides to help those of us who were blind around to each table.
