Another great project for blind users is http://emacspeak.sourceforge.net/
It assumes that since Emacs can do practically everything the user-facing part of an OS can do (manage files, launch and run applications, launch a shell, and so on), then a mode that narrates input and output unlocks the entire computing experience for someone with low or no vision. It works quite well.
We use gourmet; it's excellent. My only wish is that it would integrate with a calendaring application of some sort, and maybe a shopping list. But strictly as a recipe manager, it's an excellent application.
