Ik ben niet emotioneel betrokken bij het Engels.

Richmond,
Not everybody who has eye problems is immediately blind. At least, not in my
environment.
I assumed you were using "visually challenged" as a euphemism for 'blind', and
"visually impaired" for 'partially sighted'.
Otherwise there was no need whatsoever for your reduplication: "visually
challenged or visually impaired people.
Best, Richmond.

Graham,
A screen reader is software that allows visually challenged or

Oh, Joy! There we are!
to understand what is currently on their computer screen. It allows
them to find the right control so they can press the return key or
space bar to activate that control and it allows them to hear text
that is displayed on the screen. A very well-known screen reader is
JAWS but there are quite a few other commercial and open-source screen
readers available. I believe the term "accessibility" is most
appropriate in this matter.
