I recently went to the eye doctor to get new contacts and a check up and i got my eyes dialated. I can't see shite right now; which got me thinking how can chicken implement a way for blind people to chat with us and discuss some of the great discussions we have... I think it could be groundbreaking

Text to speech software.

From a lot of the posts on the site, seems like people already do

Reading some of the shite that has appeared on here has almost made me go blind a few times…..

Are any of you blind? I'd love to know

You can increase the font size on your browser. Don't ask me how, but I know you can do it. For actual blind people, there's software that converts web pages into braille or speech.

Rummeltiger will come to your house and post for you, nude of course. It's a free service provided by Chicken.

It's too bad you can still see well enough to post.

This post is in braille when you're not looking.

Yes
ETA: using text to speech software on here would suck... "dancing banana emoticon" "emoticon eating popcorn", and it'd read all the tl;dr posts.

This is something you can configure Windows to do for you on your PC.

What about all the NSFW threads? How do explain all those to some poor blind frick?
Posted on 3/31/15 at 12:55 pm to Macintosh504
No, it would actually be a plus being blind..so you wouldn't have to read your shitty threads

ATTENTION BLIND PERSON, THIS IS YOUR TEXT TO SPEECH ROBOT. YOU MUST NOW PAY ATTENTION WHILE I SING DON MCCLEAN'S AMERICAN PIE IN MY CREEPY ROBOT VOICE:
A long long time ago
I can still remember how
That music used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance
And maybe they'd be happy for a while
But February made me shiver
With every paper I delivered
Bad news on the doorstep
I couldn't take one more step
I can't remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride
But something touched me deep inside
The day the music died
So
[Chorus]
Bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey in Rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die
Did you write the book of love
And do you have faith in God above
If the Bible tells you so?
Now do you believe in rock and roll?
Can music save your mortal soul?
And can you teach me how to dance real slow?
Well, I know that you're in love with him
Cause I saw you dancin' in the gym
You both kicked off your shoes
Man, I dig those rhythm and blues
I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
But I knew I was out of luck
The day the music died
I started singin'
[Chorus]
Now, for ten years we've been on our own
And moss grows fat on a rolling stone
But, that's not how it used to be
When the jester sang for the king and queen
In a coat he borrowed from James Dean
And a voice that came from you and me
Oh and while the king was looking down
The jester stole his thorny crown
The courtroom was adjourned
No verdict was returned
And while Lenin read a book on Marx
The quartet practiced in the park
And we sang dirges in the dark
The day the music died
We were singin'
[Chorus]
Helter skelter in a summer swelter
The birds flew off with a fallout shelter
Eight miles high and falling fast
It landed foul on the grass
The players tried for a forward pass
With the jester on the sidelines in a cast
Now the half-time air was sweet perfume
While sergeants played a marching tune
We all got up to dance
Oh, but we never got the chance
Cause the players tried to take the field
The marching band refused to yield
Do you recall what was revealed
The day the music died?
We started singin'
[Chorus]
Oh, and there we were all in one place
A generation lost in space
With no time left to start again
So come on Jack be nimble, Jack be quick
Jack Flash sat on a candlestick
Cause fire is the devil's only friend
And as I watched him on the stage
My hands were clenched in fists of rage
No angel born in Hell
Could break that Satan's spell
And as the flames climbed high into the night
To light the sacrificial rite
I saw Satan laughing with delight
The day the music died
He was singin'
[Chorus]
I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news
But she just smiled and turned away
I went down to the sacred store
Where I'd heard the music years before
But the man there said the music wouldn't play
And in the streets the children screamed
The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed
But not a word was spoken
The church bells all were broken
And the three men I admire most-
the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost-
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died
And they were singing
