Communities like this (rblind.com) and r/blind are focused on serving the blind and visually impaired community, including friends and family. They’re also valuable as an opportunity for people outside the community to learn about the blind experience.

That brings us to the question: sighted friends, what have you learned that you’d like to share?

    @MostlyBlindGamer kind of random but when I met a Blind power user of text to speech who would listen to documents read aloud at a much higher speed and explained that “Robotic” sounding voices work much better for this than natural sounding synthesized voices. till then I always thought the ideal for everyone was the most natural sounding voice possible and that robot-like voices were worse
