Blind and to a greater extent visually impaired people still need pictures to convey things e.g. For websites, educational coursework or artwork. A voluntary service could be set up to facilitate this.
Pictures speak a thousand words and registered blind people still find it useful to use pictures to convey what they are trying to describe. To a sighted person, this sounds bizarre but pictures within websites or educational coursework for instance only enhance the project the Visually Impaired Person (VIP) is trying to achieve for both the VIP and audience the project is aimed at.
Seeking out a picture is very difficult for VIPs and so a voluntary run service could be set up with just such an aim. The service could be conducted over the internet or the phone and could even be extended to describing pictures in magazines or family holiday photos for instance. It would probably be run in conjunction with local blind associations.

There is a mechanism comprised of multiple pins where each pin represents a pixel and it can be made to be the equivalent of a monitor screen to feel a picture. This might be helpful for blind people as a screen substitute working off graphics. Perhaps it is already in use.
