[R-sig-teaching] looking for accessibility help (blind student)

[Greg Snow]

There is a BrailleR package on CRAN that may be of use.  It looks like
it is very much a work in progress but may be helpful.  You could also
contact the author of the package to see what they suggest (and it may
inspire quicker development of the package if there is clear
interest).

This blog post may be helpful as well:

The discussion on R-help from a couple of years ago starting here:

could also be helpful.
