TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Does anyone out there design/write/develop (whatever word we're using!)
documentation for people with severe visual impairments (blind, legally
blind, etc.)? I've searched the archives pretty thoroughly (I think) and
there seems to be a lot of talk about using a font with a point size of at
least 11 or 12, with an age 40+ audience in mind. However, I'm talking
about an audience with more severe visual impairments --- say, requiring
more like a 16 point, sans serif font at the very least.
So, if any of you write documentation like enlarged print or even Braille
manuals (or convert existing manuals to either) OR write text-based online
documentation for people who use screen readers. . . I desperately need to
talk to you!!!! Please e-mail me at hachtziger -at- rocktenn -dot- com -dot-
