Hacker News Reader

I had a coworker this happened too. He was in his late 40s when this happened and so had to use a screen reader instead of a Braille display. He used edlin over putty on Windows. Since Jaws ran best there for him. He had to stop working on languages like Python where a screen reader is of little help.

i find this interesting. is it due to the space significance thingy?

Python is totally possible with a screen reader; the screen reader just needs to read out punctuation. It's easier with a self voicing application like emacs.

Three spaces vs one space is punctuation?

Which languages work best with a screen reader?
