EMAIL I JUST GOT: Is your Porn Site Blind Friendly?
 

The best cancel excuse this month:

Now it's true I have a captcha with no audio option like some mainstream sites use... just never thought blind people would join porn sites, but now that I think about it I guess they can listen to the videos??


New niche? Porn for the blind full of audio files? I'm all for it.

I added the smell feature to mine !

Sound and imagination works for the blind

According to WHO, there are 598,000 people in the United States met the legal definition of blindness.

Lets figure 50% are men, that's 300k, of those 50% are of legal age, that's 150k, and of the 150k, 75,000 use the internet with the programs that let them surf via audio software.

Now lets say you build a blind friendly porn paysite, all audio based navigation, stories and audio files... and you get 10% of them to join (7500) at $9.95 a month. That's $74,625 per month.

Anyone want to go in with me on development? Figure 10k to buy up licenses to all the text stories and have some girl read them, then have enough left over to create audio files from a bunch of DVDs.. bingo!

I have a sister-in-law that is blind and always makes comments about my posts and photos so I know there must be some kind of software that makes surfing easier than we might imagine.

there is lot of software for blind people, from pic recognition, text reading, voice commands etc.. I read about small team in my country that made translator for blind people, they visit site on english for example with news, and software auto translates to them to their mother language, they got some prize too.

A former girlfriend is blind from birth, she has never seen anything. She enjoys hearing stories and even listening to any "normal" porn video. Heck, I even played a clip from Hogtied.com for her and she got all crazy and wanted to try and experience what she had just heard.

Being blind, she's used to walk into stuff and she seldom reacts or gets surprised by it. But being tied up, removing her way to feel her way through, really tickles her mind and turns her on in remarkable ways, ways I've hardly seen with any other girl.

Gleem, I'd love to talk to you about it and I can volunteer my knowledge and input, because I firmly believe it to be a good deed! Will try to hit you up later tonight.

And they said porn was dead

That's really interesting, I never thought of that before either. Maybe more websites should do that!

add an audio captcha, if it makes him happy.

Captchas can be very difficult for sight impaired people to use. I constantly wish more webmasters would understand that.

I would like to make www.dialapornstar.com user friendly for the visually impaired. I am sure that they would welcome to opportunity of speaking directly with porn stars :)

No need to buy licences - this is a live call:pimp

What if fapping MADE you blind?

lol then aural sex is the only way to go...

sexy voices.

maybe that was the chargeback I got for that site hahaha

Use alt tags for your images, I think that's what the text to speech stuff will read.

10% yeah right.

I dont want to be blind.

A while back on Howard Stern they had a blind guy on who talked about the type of porn he liked to watch. Since he couldn't see it he said the sound was the most important thing. There was one girl he liked in particular, but I can't remember her name. He liked her because when she gave head she sounded like a duck quacking.

+ some non-blind people may find it interesting too so make it $80,000 per month at least :thumbsup

Thanks for the tip. I will outsource this job. LMK if 'Chaos' is interested lol

lol I'll hit him up and get you two connected mate :thumbsup

porn audio new niche

I used to make really good money selling audio porn (SPECIFICALLY FOR THE BLIND) on CD format back in 2001 / 2002

There was certainly a market for it.

I'll dig out a post I made elsewhere about the subtle nuances, the 'does and donts' of the niche, and post it, id anyones interested in reading it?

Thats awesome, how a duck quacking is hot is beyond me but I don't judge.

I kinda wish they had "El Howard Sterno" in Spanish tv

I'd like to read it :)

Ok. Here it is. It was originally posted as a reply to a model, who enquired on another forum, regarding the subject of 'personalised porn audio, for the blind' and its basically my advice to her...

Make of it what you will :)

Also, I was discussing it here on GFY in 2007...

Check out https://gfy.com/showthread.php?t=7275...or+t he+blind
for some more detail...

Plus, I hope the 2 above posts go just a *little* way towards an apology to the GFY community, for all my stupid, useless, pointless and annoying 'i like poo' type posts, that I do while I am drunk...

FWIW, I'm *nearly* sober as I type this...

How long have you been in UK?

BrailleTube.com is available...

Thanks CS. Since I have a buddy that know a lot about the software that reads out loud to blind people and the way they use computers, I might make a website and target it to them. Should be interesting.

there are more bots out there then blind people...

Got deported back from the USA on Feb 3rd 2007...

However, you and I met 'face-2-face' on a barge on the Thames, June 17th :) UKAP :)

I was... Wait for it.... Extremely Drunk lol

Ah, TGITC, hello mate, twas a good evening :-)

:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

I have a hard time with captchas sometimes. Shit keeps telling me I'm putting in the wrong code when I'm not!

We hear from vision impaired people fairly regularly when webmasters remove the audible option in Strongbox, or if they are using a very old version without it . A lot of surfers with poor or no vision are used to having the audible captcha option when they see Strongbox.

Keep in mind that vision impairment is a continuous spectrum. Plenty of people need their system font set to 24 or higher and put their eyes a few inches from the screen. They often appreciate a site that puts things in the customary places. Ie. on a plain splash page the big ENTER link goes near the bottom of the page in the center.
I see quite well, worth my glasses, but on many sites sites we work on we have trouble finding the the link to the members' area. People with poor vision won't appreciate that.

Speaking to some legally blind people I'm reminded of the days of Compuserve and Prodigy, when we had postage stamp sized video. You couldn't really see anything, but we were used to that. Christy Canyon at 100x100 pixels was awesome because that's all we had. Hell, standard television is ,352x240, so it's all in what you're used to. When the whole world is super blurry, an equally blurry Sasha Grey is pretty damn sexy.

where's "AtlantisCash"... he's almost blind - and a webmaster

that's really cool
