There must be a way to get Reddit post and dms read audibly but how? (self.Blind)
submitted by Trick-Regret-493
I'm still kind of new to Reddit and I am struggling to get my new tablet set up. I would like to be able to have high contrast in a way to have DMs and comments read aloud because my eyes get lost in all the text.

That sounds convenient I'm going to be getting a phone soon I'm thinking about the iPhone see.

The Iphone SE has voiceover but I'm assuming you're VI and not completely blind in which case it has a zoom feature and I believe a read screen feature too.
Android can be used if you're completely blind but I'm not sure about the features for those that are VI.

Perhaps you can try a customised version of Reddit like Slide for iPad. It's even available on Android on the Google playstore. You can customize it to take away certain buttons so it's more of a minimalistic interface for your needs.

Wow thank you I will have to check it out in the Play store currently I have Android but will be searching to Apple soon I hear it's more accessible.

Oh nice! Yeah my cousin is visually impaired as well and loves the iOS accessibility a lot more than Androids. Another app I would suggest from the Apple app store is comet for reddit. I'd say it has a much simpler user interface than the slide app.

depending on what type of tablet it is (apple or android), you can enable the accessibility features to do this. on an apple device, the feature is called voiceover and on an android device it is called talkback. please do note that enabling this feature on either device will drastically change how it is normally used, requiring you to swipe through options and double tap to select. there are plenty of videos and articles online to help explain this better.
