blind users are finding that they are spending disproportionately more time sorting through their junk e-mail than their sighted colleagues. That’s because sighted users can simply scan large batches of messages for that one important piece of mail, whereas blind users must listen to the subject line of each message before they know whether it’s spam or not.
It’s a process that has become so unbearable that some blind users say they are giving up on e-mail altogether. —Amit Asaravala —Blind Get Earful of Spam Daily (Wired)
