I have a friend who was fond of using his phone. And believe me or not, my friend is a blind. I helped him install and configure the application settings to his phone. Why am I saying this? I am just wondering if YAPPADAPPADOO project has plans for the blind people to use their applications?

How were you abke to do that? Maybe he is just partly blind and not with both eyes? If he is blind totally he cannot do that in phones and much more if it is touch screen. That will be funny to think but Im sure your friend sees partly and he can manage to use mobile phones.

I was just thinking, if a person is blind what use of the phone he can do to enjoy it more since he cannot see? Aside from calling and listening to music there will be nothing more he can do to enjoy his phone, maybe listen to radio too and news since he cannot see anything.

There are great mobile apps for the blind out there since few years back, the phones were not merely limited for calling, music, and news on the radio.

There are apps that can help a blind person identify money, it's currency and the denomination. There are reader apps that could read newspapers aloud. An application to identify many things within a blind person's vicinity by simply opening up the camera and tapping the screen. And there are online apps that offers actual people to be the eyes of blind person as they wonder through the city or simply help them identify which among two canned goods is the chunky cheese tuna.

Technology has really evolved a lot and could even extend many services to visually impaired persons, and i do hope they are under the radar of Yappadappadoo.

Agreed, there are apps out there that are already helping the blind and visually impaired people. But expecting these apps to be extended as a PWA might be a bit difficult since (usually) a user needs to launch a browser and navigate to the pwa app's site.

There are of course home screen options for PWA launchers making the app easier to open, but current limitations of PWA with regards to hardware access might hamper the proposed apps to be develop.

But i do agree that it is truly noble for developers to come up with apps that helps people with disability to conveniently use their mobile phones for practical purposes.
