Defining Dating
Dating is defined as a part of human mating process whereby two people meet socially for companionship, beyond the level of friendship, or with the aim of each assessing the other's suitability as a partner in an intimate relationship or marriage. It can be a form of courtship consisting of social activities done by the couple. While the term has several meanings, it usually refers to the act of meeting and engaging in some mutually agreed upon social activity in public, together, as a couple.

Main Digest
My intentions were to do a review of online dating websites for blind and visually impaired persons, however a search for such sites revealed there are none, or none that I could find...
OK, If Disabled World, or another website, was to create a dating service for the blind what requirements would be needed?
You can add to this list by contacting us, and if your idea(s) is good, we'll post it to this page in order to create a list of criterias a dating website for the blind wouldneed to be fully accessible.
Criteria to Develop Dating Site for Blind and Vision Impaired

Ideas put forth so far include:
The site would need to be mainly text only - with pictures kept to a minimum.
Profile pictures could still be posted so that a sighted person could describe how a person looked to someone with a vision impairment.
More descriptive fields would need to be added for items such as;
- Hair and eye color
- Clean shaven or bearded
- Height
- Body build etc.
This would give a member a better idea of a person for those that can not see a profile photo.
Any anti-spam captcha's would need to be able to 'speak' the captcha letters or numbers.
The website would need to be designed to be readable by a large number of different screen readers.
If we get enough interest from people we may create a dating area on the Disabled World web site for the blind and visually impaired.
