    This is a great meme and all, but if a machine is telling you something out loud that is already being displayed on a screen, that feature most likely exists to help blind / visually impaired people.

      Who cares about them anyway?

      Not many people, judging from the amount of text messages my nearly blind relative gets demanding confirmations and such because they cant bother to call someone who is medically documented and who has informed them about their inability to do such things due to poor vision

      Yes, even their fucking eye doctor

        This isn’t intended to sound insensitive and is meant as a question: don’t phones have accessibility features for the blind to help them read and reply to texts and do other stuff? (I mean, I know they do, but I don’t know yo what extent they’re actually helpful.)
