Scratch Accessibility for Low-vision and Blind Users

Awesomedude2001

low and blind users need to be more active and learn more of scratch.

Oh that’s so nice Scratch

they could make a color blind mode! and have all 3 color blindness modes! and a new one that mixes all 3 color blind modes kown as “all 3 color blind modes” and make another mode known as blind/low vision user mode and what it does is read comments to you! and how scratch tells you is that it has a extra step when signing up that could say do you have any of these 3 disability's? and it shows i am a color blind user. i am a low vision/blind user. (and when it is hovered over it says the 2nd option in tts) and can be skipped by a button below saying i have none of these disability's and then you carry on with the setup of your scratch account

Oh they can make a hearing loss mode Where when setting up their account and go to the disability thingy and press “I have Hearing loss” and it will tune up Scratch very loud and they can hear :D. By the way i have hearing loss

Is that good enough.

Hello! I have an idea, maybe a speaker for blind people? On my Chromebook there's a accessibility for blind people called ChromeVox speaker that just reads everything on my screen, maybe something like that?

Not everything, just maybe when the mouse hovers over a block it says what it is. But the ChromeVox does read everything. Yeah, it's prettyannoying.

We should also make scratch more creative to users and more advanced for blind and low vision users so that they can be more creative and learn stuff even scientists couldnt learn.

dark theme. make control blocks colors more different than event blocks colors

Maybe we can have face idnetfication that will know that your a blind user. Then everything will be monotiored by sound so lets say we add a VR one like scratch built for those people then they can see propleryly

I have another idea huwitto
we can do this

Then it adjusts depending on how blind or low vision they are
