Output modality choice

As a user with limited or no vision or with limited or no hearing, I need to be able to choose modalities to be used for outputs from the system.

Notes

Too broad to fit?

For example:

• Blind people and people with low vision may have difficulty with visual output and instead want to use audio output.
• Deaf people and people who are hard of hearing may have difficulty hearing sound effects and want the screen or a portion of the screen to flash when one occurs.
• Those who have difficulty hearing and understanding speech may wish to have captions or other visual indications of speech.
