One thing to keep in mind is that this guide will be utilizing a lot of different resources and alternatives. There's no single solution. I'll talk about one piece of software that may help you but that isn't my primary aim. My aim is to provide alternatives for You Tubers and viewers who are blind. Enjoy! Manage a YouTube account with a screen reader. I'm sure there's a way to navigate around YouTube with a screen reader, but I'm too lazy to even fiddle with such nonsense and guess what those unlabeled buttons are for. I have two solutions. The first one is a lot better than the second one but if you really hate using mobile versions of things, then option two will be good for you. 1.Use the mobile version of YouTube. http://m.youtube.com. With this mobile website, you can actually do a lot of things to your account, even comment on videos. You can't reply directly to people on this site when they comment your video unless you type at,and then their user name. You can't message people by composing a new message. You can, however, read and reply to messages that you get in your inbox. You can also manage your subscribers. this site provides a screen reader friendly environment to at least edit your videos, playlists, personal info, account settings, account sharing, and all that and a little bit more. Uploading videos using this clean interface is a lot better than just uploading your videos through email. With this system, you get a better control of the title and description and even the tags. If you use your quick navigation keys, and your links list, you will be a pro YouTube user in no time! It doesn't have hardly any ads or graphics on the site, so you should have no problem at all navigating it after learning what the links are called when you are looking for them. There is one downfall however, actually, a couple. You can't watch videos or reply to comments directly with a link or button on videos. While this website is definitely lacking in some of the most essential in the whole YouTube experience, such as the composing a message feature, if you're a frequent YouTube uploader, this is the best alternative for managing your YouTube presence. 2.Use the text based web browser, WebbIE. http://www.webbie.org.uk/download.htm. While this is an alternative to managing a YouTube account if you don't like the mobile interface, this isn't a good solution. Unfortunately, it's the best one for YouTube creators at the time of this writing. The web browser will attempt to display the entire site in a text format, and trust me this makes navigating a lot faster, but don't think you won't hit the wrong button from time to time. There's buttons on there that just say search, or close, without any text before the button to tell us what it is. Also, using this browser, the search field for videos is somewhere at the bottom, but the search button to hit is both at the bottom and the top of the pages. Replying to comments is mainly the only easy thing to do using this method compared to the mobile YouTube option. Since you'll be on the main YouTube site using this browser, you'll have access to all of YouTube has to offer. Getting it to work for you, however, is a different story altogether. There's unlabeled buttons, unlabeled images, and this is even more evident navigating with this browser. In some cases you will come across a huge string of java links that are supposed to be for one button, or there will be buttons back to back coded with java and you will have to decipher them. Using standard navigation keys you'd use in Microsoft word mixed in with its own keys provided, this method will make it a lot easier to check your email and reply to YouTube messages despite the difficult layout of the website. It makes searching for videos a little bit easier and it makes editing the video information a little bit easier but not as easy and quick as the mobile website listed above. I should note that this isn't the web browsers issue, this is YouTube's. The text based web browser can get rid of a lot of annoying flash animation ads that slow down navigating. The good thing is, you can keep the browser in text mode and just play videos and li
