workflow - How can you program if you're blind? -

-

sight 1 of senses programmers take granted. programmers spend hours looking @ computer monitor (especially during times when in zone), know there blind programmers (such t.v. raman works google).

if blind person (or becoming blind), how set development environment assist in programming?

(one suggestion per answer please. purpose of question bring ideas top. in addition, screen readers can read ideas earlier.)

i totally blind college student who’s had several programming internships answer based off these. use windows xp operating system , jaws read appears on screen me in synthetic speech. java programming use eclipse, since it’s featured ide accessible.

in experience general rule java programs use swt gui toolkit more accessible programs use swing why stay away netbeans. .net programming use visual studio 2005 since standard version used @ internship , accessible using jaws , set of scripts developed make things such form designer more accessible.

for c , c++ programming use cygwin gcc compiler , emacs or vim editor depending on need do. lot of internship involved programming z/os. used rlogin session through cygwin access uss subsystem on mainframe , c3270 3270 emulator access ispf portion of mainframe.

i rely on synthetic speech have braille display. find work faster speech use braille display in situations punctuation matters , gets complicated. examples of if statements lots of nested parenthesis’s , jcl punctuation incredibly important.

update

i'm playing emacspeak under cygwin http://emacspeak.sourceforge.net i'm not sure if usable programming editor since appears unresponsive haven't looked @ of configuration options yet.
