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.)

Yes, iOS and Android have screen readers. I have two blind aunts and a blind uncle and none of them have issues with text messages.

I don't know if it helps or not, but if they have Android, there's an app called audify, which will use the built in TTS to speak alerts aloud.

I have no doubt you've checked into such things, but I thought I'd put it out there for you just in case it slipped under your radar.
