I just read a news item about a new vocational school in India that helps visually impaired students develop skills and find work. At least one student has gone on to find work as a medical transcriptionist. There are plans to create training modules specifically for transcription in the future.

I have never considered transcription as a job that could be accomplished by the visually impaired, by I suppose that it can be done. There are technologies that can assist people with poor eyesight and someone with the proper language skills and typing ability could conceivably make a go of it. Zoomtext is a popular item of software for people with poor eyesight.
