That depends, really.
I've got three visually impaired (well, more or less blind) aunts, and
while they all use screen readers that pick up text widgets and convert
them to braille, the two with most residual vision left also use screen
magnification as a tool to be able to see what's going on on the screen.
I don't know how much, if anything, Eric sees, but this *might* be an
option if the VNC client is run on a terminal with magnification
capability.
