yet they've not prepared software for blind people.
i've met (virtualy) a few blind people who use computers (And the
internet) through some program that (as far as i understood) tracks the
cursor's position and lets them here the text (or perhaps it uses
brail-style output on some device?). they can only use textual programs

proper technology in that area...
