Comment on Ask HN: How will the new Mac Book Pro's “Touch Bar” support VoiceOver?

Comments

Good question. For switching it on or off, I guess showing function keys on the Touch Bar is sufficient. Blind users will have a bit more trouble finding the right location, but it shouldn't be that bad for a command they execute so rarely. Also, one apparently can ask Siri to turn VoiceOver on or off.

For actually _using_ VoiceOver, I hope they provided some way to use VoiceOver using only physical keys because I only see blind users use function keys on the Touch Bar very, very slowly.
