TL;DR
What did u/Mrblindguardian use Claude for?
A blind business owner used Claude to build a plain-language interface over a therapy journal system's API for another blind business owner, then sold it to that client. They sold the finished product to the client.
What they did
The client's journal system was hard to use with VoiceOver, but it had an official API. Instead of fixing the old interface, they had Claude build a separate one that talks to the API, so the client can type questions like "What appointments do I have next week?" They set the goals, Claude wrote the code, and they reviewed each version with a screen reader and described problems to Claude in accessibility terms until it worked well.
How it went
They sold the finished product to the client.
Worth knowing
- They say Claude "does not automatically know what a good screen reader experience should feel like," so the result depended on their own accessibility expertise and many review rounds.
- Price check: Claude: free plan; Pro: US$20/month, or US$17/month on a yearly plan (US$200/year) (checked Nov 1, 2026).

Try it yourself
Paste this into a chatbot, then add your own details underneath.
My client uses a screen reader. Here is the API documentation for the system they use: [paste]. Propose a simple text interface where they type plain questions like "What's on my schedule next week?" and list which API calls each question needs, plus how results and errors should be announced.
