That generally limits the majority of people with limited vision. I highly encourage people with low vision to learn to type if at all possible. They can then type their notes and be able to magnify, change contrast, text to speech, etc. any notes they type.
Alternatively I’ve loaned out talking digital recorders that are accessible to blind students. The NFB recommends a good one.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
