does being color blind count?

Don't think so, but there was a suggestion to make scratch better for colourblind people, but I don't remember where the topic is.

The description has pretty small text, maybe a way to click a button it would zoom in, for people who can't read very small letters. Also, a button to click to read you the description on the project

How about voice comments? You know, like saying something then it appears in the comment? That would be cool!

I think that's a great idea!

you could use text to speech and things like that to have it read allowed to them making it so they can use it ;)

Ooh, that's great! I think it would be amazing for multiple options based on accessibility for this feature. I can't wait to see how this will turn out.
Also, a quick question: Is colour blindness also being considered for accessibility? It is, of course, another visual impairment, and can cause some issues with similar colours in the Scratch colour palette.

Wait, are you colorblind? Well, I am. Partially. I can see colors okay, but sometimes I can't tell the difference between different colors. Anyhoo…

I think the block colors need to change a bit. I have good color vision and sometimes I can't tell the difference between Events and Control or Control and Variables, imagine how hard it must be for people whose vision is not very good. The blocks are also so bright the text doesn't show up, either the colors need to get darker or the text should change to black to contrast with the paler blocks.

a voice to help people who are blind make it easier to bild a project.

i can see perfectly but put this in to discussion.

Hmmm… try to put TalkBack or something??
Like a person who’ll say something every time a blind person clicks a button!?

I think we should add sound to all our projects., and that scratch should make a separate website just for people who are blind.

I think that scratch is a brilliant coding website for gronups and kids! It's amazing how you can make whatever you want and then share it with the world! I also like it because you can comment and love fave and remix!

say [I love scratch!]
wait (1) secs
say [You can comment!]
wait (1) secs
say [Also you can love fave and remix!]
wait (3) secs
broadcast [Scratch is great! v]

say [I have written in a block!:D]
when green flag clicked

Herb506

That was right wrong!
