How can you improve accessibility in Visual Studio for visually impaired people?

Question

My friend has a with a visual impairment. He is interested in learning and programming in VB.NET.

He's currently using Narrator in Windows for his regular activities when using his computer. But is there any tool better than Narrator, which can assist him in programming in Visual Studio?

for e.g consider the following code:

for i=0 to 10 
msgbox"hi";
end sub.

In the above piece of code there was an error and the narrator cant able to demonstrate there's an error in this line1 ,as normal people we can simple see the debugger and correct it,as he is visually impaired and the narrator fails to read the debugger error,

so i seek the help from this community is it there any tool to help him better than narrator?

Answer 1

You might want to look at the things listed on this page. While it does not appear that there is one setting for making visual studio easier to use for the visually impaired, and Narrator will not do very much, there are a variety of things that you can to make things bigger, etc.

You might also want to take a look at the answers to this question for a different type of solution (though something like Jaws may either be something that you have already or way out of your price range).
