Some people transcribe posts on the internet as a matter of public service.

A picture of text is not particularly accessible to the blind. But written text, well they can zoom that significantly without reducing clarity, if they have some vision…or they can use any text-to-speech tool.

I don’t know a lot of poorly sighted people though. I’m assuming that they have some sort of font packages they use that scale well to large sizes for increased legibility, just like there are fonts specifically to help with dyslexia.

All fonts scale well since they are vector, so a blind person would not need a specialized font. If you want to learn about how some blind people use computers here is a video about one persons workflow.
