What would help you screen read a visually oriented guide? Would detailed textual descriptions of the figures help?
Personally I think that the way they're using diagrams to illustrate some of these technical concepts is really helpful. I wonder if the format would translate to spoken text? I.e. in parallel with the figures, having little descriptive "imagination breaks" in the text which would provide opportunity for focusing on some key concept or relationship that might otherwise be illustrated using a visual figure. Maybe even using spatial language?
IMO there should be way more aurally oriented technical materials.
Recently I was listening to math lectures on YouTube while driving and realized that they were much easier to follow than I expected. Still, I'd love it if there was an aurally focused higher math practice. Sometimes I find it easier to focus when I'm listening rather than using my eyes.
In this case, not really descriptions, but equivalents. I don't care that a figure shows two red boxes connected in a particular way, I care that packets flow from node x to y, but not in the other direction (just an example).
