I can't speak for the OP. And while I'm visually impaired, I'm not totally blind, and I do my programming visually (though I often use a screen reader for other tasks). Still, I can point you at some projects by blind programmers. The largest project I know of that's written primarily by blind people is the open-source NVDA screen reader, written primarily in Python with some C++. It's on GitHub here: https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda For a fairly large, and long-running, project developed primarily by a single blind programmer, check out Emacspeak, written in Emacs Lisp with some Tcl, available on GitHub here: https://github.com/tvraman/emacspeak Edit: I almost forgot about brltty, a Linux console screen reader designed primarily for braille rather than speech output, written in C: https://github.com/brltty/brltty Now for a few small proj
