Search GitHub for open issues with the words "TalkBack" "VoiceOver" "JAWS" or "NVDA".

Those are screen readers and lots of apps and programs have compatibility issues with them.

Start making PRs to fix those and you'll be making a tangible impact on people's lives and, hopefully, contributing to FOSS, which is always nice. Along the way you'll learn a lot about the issue that affect the blind and low vision community.

Whatever you're working on, add a dark them to the front end. White screens cause me eye pain.

Here's a bit of reading to give you a leg up:

Hello! If you know Python, maybe it could be very useful. I am a computer engineering student, and in view of the lack of accessible material to read science, I have developed a translator from LaTeX to txt files, to make reading simpler. PDFs with scientific content cannot be read well by screen readers, and LaTeX, the source code with which they are usually created, can be read using notepad or a simple text editor. The problem is that it is not so friendly to read that way, and that is why I made the translator, which simplifies many of these things. For example, if you type \frac{1}{2} using LaTeX, I translate it as 1/2, and so on with many other things. I also use unicode symbols. This has been very helpful for other blind students at my university, and I would like to be able to make it more stable so that more people can use it, but I still have to fix some things. If you want to help me or any developer reading this is interested, I'll leave right here the link to the github repository.

Thanks a lot!

find bookworm reader's github page and help them solve and develop it further.

The Github idea is a great one, but even if you don't go for that, simply following WCAG2.1 Level AA or higher guidelines when coding and spreading the "universal design" message to your fellow coders is a great step.

It would be nice with an alternative to Seeing Ai for Android.. Please also make it danish, i'd be happy to do the translations!

Work on a self check out or point of sale device that can fully speak.

Not being able to access/interpret graphs or charts in real time is a huge pain. Be it researching price fluctuations on something you want to buy to try to get the best price, to any number of articles regarding finance or housing or whatever else you can imagine represented in a chart. I mean… Not every single thing has to become a home project where you have to bust out yarn and glue or use a super expensive embosser to relay that information in a tactile format. Sometimes, you just want to read the article or visit the webpage and move on with your life 10 seconds later. Being able to even convert those charts or graphs into an accessible table or something along those lines with even a browser extension would be a big-time improvement.
