[scandum]

Blind players can't really compete with sighted players. Tactical graphical interfaces, fast combat, tactical color usage, etc, make this problem worse.

So it's not only important whether a MUD has 'blind friendly' features, but also how many features it has that further the gap between blind and sighted players. An important question is how big a handicap blind players are willing to tolerate.

A web based mud might be able to be audio only, possibly with a lot of content that has been recorded in advance. I guess you'd need a good narrator. This could be an interesting challenge for sighted players.

Another problem is that some/many ? blind people have never been taught to write, so they don't know how to use a keyboard, so speech to text would be important, and a MUD would probably need to support some error handling and handle fuzzy input.
