Rumors be dammed. (smiles) Anyone who takes rumors that seriously needs to step back and simply wait for the reality check. That is common sense. When the first iPhone came out, who would have ever dreamed that a touch screen could be blind friendly?

If the rumors are indeed true, each key will have no tactile boundary for a 
visually impaired person to be able to distinguish from, thus making the touch 
bar a complete accessibility nightmare, unless they re-engineer OS X or 
whatever they’re going to call it next, so that the bar has some type of 
voiceover support built in.

Hi there,

Rumor has it that the soon forth coming Mac book pros will feature a touch bar 
instead of function keys on the keyboard.  This raises an interesting question. 
 Assuming that Voice Over is turned off on any one of the new Mac book Pros 
that a blind user goes up to, how is a blind person supposed to turn on Voice 
Over if there are no physical function keys but instead a touch bar?  I think 
maybe I can guess.  If a blind person needs to turn on Voice OVer, it should be 
possible by pressing VO+touch anyware on the bar and that should do it.  Or 
else, triple tap the bar to turn Voice OVer on.  I can almost imagine the 
e-mails now.
