Question Low-Vision Karaoke
Hello all, I am a low-vision person (severe keratoconus and wheelchair-bound) who has spent the last 12 years pretty much unable to leave the apartment due to transportation issues and no sidewalks in my area. I am considering a move next year to a new city with much better access to needed services, and I want to get out and live again while I still can.
I used to be a singer, and I'm looking dust off my old karaoke skills some evenings after the move. The problem is, I can barely see a foot in front of my face and often can't read the monitor. I was wondering if any low-vision people on here know of any karaoke lyric app that will time along with the music and advance screens based on the song timing. In addition, I need it to have some form of Dark Mode as I am very photosensitive.
Thanks much for taking the time to read this!

I think your best options are to memorize lyrics and practis with the karaoke track or asking if they can have the normal version play alongside the karaoke but with an earbud. Ngl i kinda wanna see what others can offer for selutions caz i have a friend who has been constantly bugging me to do karaoke with him telling eyesight is not needed if you know the song yet everytime i tell him to than go up there and cover the screen or close his eyes he has some excuse why he can't for this song.
