Support for blind people

Anyone knows, if is it possible for blind person to sue a company because company’s application doesn’t have support for blind users?

On the other hand, i wonder if JUCE includes any support for visually impaired users?

Thx!

I doubt there is ground for a lawsuit in general. Maybe something could be constructed, like if the application is required to do a certain job, where lack of accessibility could be seen as discrimination. But I doubt it applies here.

JUCE added accessibility in JUCE 6 and uses screenreaders etc. I just had a brief look at it, but e.g. Surge and others did a lot of effort to integrate it in their products (just know it from discussions here and on the discord). Which means it is well tested and working by now.

Here is an overview of classes involved in accessibility:
