[WG: Accessibility] What to call a screen reader user?

[Mary Stores]

I wonder what name should have been chosen instead of screen-reader. 
It's not really all that catchy and can't be shortened. If only my 
imagination were working right now, I'd come up with something fun. 
Technological eye information transmitters?

That's the best...or worst I can do.
