Cna this be done with any sitisfaction?

I have been drinking tonight. Some beer and some canned spirits mixtures which seem t have impaired my visionon the right side. I see flashes and find it hard to read this forum. I notice dit in a convenience store after gettingoff the last train.

it made me think. Are their trading resources or services for the visually impaired?
 
Had a look at this in Harvey Norman the other day. Probably doesn`t meet expectations of doing everything on the computer by voice command but it is the start of what will no doubt be better future versions.

Wow, it must have been the alcohol. My eyesight is much better today. the question still interests me though.

well if you are talking about day trading. I guess it would be possible for live prices to be read out to you.. so the software reads out the ticker. But this would restrict you to following only a single item. Or you could set up shortcuts to change what the computer reads out. But you would need some sort of photographic memory or a very good visual memory to place these numbers being read out to you in a graphical formation.
