For better or for worse, they are here to stay and now as someone with a vision impairment I need to find ways to deal with them.
I cannot create digital receipts of my own. That is, to take a picture of a paper receipt and then email it to the requester. This means that I would need to ask a sighted friend to do this and there goes my privacy and my independence is now out the window.
In like manner, whenever a digital receipt is sent to me I have to face certain challenges. For starters screen readers are unable to read images so if it is an image then I am in trouble. Or if it is a scanned copy then the same challenge arises.
What to do? I can probably use my scanner to read it. That is, I would first need to print it and then use my scanner. I just need to ensure that the receipt has been printed.
Ah yes! That's technology for you!
