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 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.

when green flag clicked
if <<(distance to [(answer) v]) = (distance to [(loudness) v])>> then
say [I want more!]

Hi!

I’m a member of the Scratch Team, and over the next two years, I’ll be working on a project to make Scratch more accessible to Scratchers with low-vision or blindness.

Before I start designing and building, I want to hear about your experience with Scratch and how you think Scratch accessibility can be improved–especially if you have blindness or low-vision. Your stories, thoughts, and feedback will guide the project and make sure that I’m making changes that improve Scratcher experiences, so please share on this forum!

Thanks!
Tina

 we
 have

 and
 have
 just

when I receive [Shoul scratch be available for low sight and blind people?]

say [YES WE SHOULD!]

if <That will never happen> then
add [MalinValp] to [Dissapoited users]
end

(pick random (yes) to (no))

Great idea!

when I receive [Great idea! from iamtheawesomeness]
say [I KNOW! I AM A GENIUS!]
add [Malinvalp] to [Geniuses who actually are dumb]
wait until <I realize it is just my creative mind and not my brain actually being smart>

Are you new to the Scratch Team? If so welcome to the ST!

They’ve been on for only a month, so yeah, pretty new

I have a feeling they may become someone legendary like ceebee someday…

I was going to say “Welcome to the ST” too, but I didn’t want to come across like… y’know

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'm glad this is finally being put into effect. I can't tell you guys how many times I've had to answer this on the suggestions forum. Sheesh…
Anyways, on the topic of colorblind people, I've heard there are special glasses that can help with that. I'm kinda hoping they're not expensive. They probably are, but…
Do you think you could do a dark theme for scratch? Many scratchers are asking for this option, and I think it would be helpful, since it would be a bit easier on the eyes.
