Does FamilySearch work with Windows Narrator or other adaptive software for the Visually impaired?

Are there any recommendation or plans to help people that are blind or very visually impaired to help them use FamilySearch?

    Other users have periodically mentioned JAWS. I'm not familiar with that screen reader, but if you search on that term in the Help Center, how to use it appears pretty thoroughly documented: https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/search?q=jaws

    JAWS is what our blind friend uses in general (or used to, a few years ago; I have no idea whether she's found something else now), but she's not the genealogist in their family, so I don't think she can offer anything useful re: FS specifically.
