Once upon a time I did a stint in Computerized design using a product called 
AutoCAD. After my sight was gone, I had the occasion to speak with the  parent 
company Autodesk and they informed me that they were working on AudioCad… I was 
rather busy at the time feeding myself to get involved and really don’t know 
where the product ended up. Give Autodesk a try, one never knows.

I have never found any cad software that is accessible.  CAD software is all 
visual, at least from what I have seen.

Best,

Juan

Hello,
Does anyone know if EAGLE:
http://www.cadsoftusa.com/download-eagle/
is accessible?
I am looking for PCB CAD softwares that are accessible.
Thanks,

Hello:



     In reading the various posts, I did not see a reference to Snap
Circuits from Elenco. Snap circuits are individual components mounted on
pieces of plastic. They snap onto a board which is comprised of a grid of
pegs. The snaps of the components are metal so they can be connected to each
other or with jumpers. This is one way to learn electronics at the component
level. The parts are big enough that braille labels can be attached. Hope
this helps.

Robert

Hello,
Does anyone know of any tools for blind people to learn how to develop
their own electronics?
In particular, schematic diagrams, designing a PCB and how to solder.
I was looking at:
http://www.build-electronic-circuits.com/electronic-schematics/

to get the steps I need to know.

I found:
http://www.fredshead.info/2005/11/soldering-without-sight.html
on soldering blind, but that is it. Most of those links and items are
almost 10 years old, so I would like something a little more recent.
Are there any lists or resources for blind electrical engineers?
Thanks,



Brandon Keith Biggs <http://brandonkeithbiggs.com/>
