It probably will doom many small business websites. I suppose someone will invent a program that can be incorporated into websites for braille or other disabilities—but will it be cheap enough to make it financially feasible for mom and pop operations to install it and keep it current.
I’m putting my website that is under construction on permanent hold.

"The ADA has been used as a club to extort money form businesses for years "
No kidding. My wife and I get a kick out of all the "Hoists" suddenly seen at swimming pools at Hawaii resorts. They just appeared one year due to ADA I gather.
In the years they have been there, at God knows what $$ in install, never seen one used.
What a clusterfudge and waste of money.

...to inhibit a competitor,,It does seem that way. Somebody would have to explain to me why the disabled's needs couldn't be met if the company had a toll free help option.
You'd think there'd be a tech option that translated into braille when printed.

When we have Braille computers and tablets, maybe this will work.

You can joke about it all you want (typical heartless Freeper) but I’m sure that is quite helpful for all of the blind drivers in the country. /s

And most browsers have text-to-speech capabilities built in. If the text is sent as text. If it is embedded in images the text-to-speech won't read it.
I'm trying to think of what a bricks and mortar grocery store does for the blind? The products don't have braille on them and the signs on the shelves don't either. Maybe the ADA requires that a store employee helps the blind shopper which isn't an option on a website.
