Preparing documents for signature with Docusign and Adobe ESign?

Hi, I wanted to know if there is a way to prepare documents for signature with digital signing methods like Docusign and Adobe ESign with screenreaders? With Docusign signing is straightforward, if prepared by someone else, but when preparing them myself I haven't figured out how to place signature fields where they are supposed to be on the document for others to sign. For Adobe ESign I can't place my signature where it needs to be. Is this a skills issue or are these services not accessible? For reference I use JAWS but do have NVDA as well.

Assistive technology in scifi?

A few weeks ago I read The Dream Master, a scifi novel that deals with dreams and virtual reality that has a blind character in it. The portrayal of blindness was... not great, but something that struck me about it was that for a futuristic setting, it lacked imagination for what technology could look like for the blind. The only real inovation in that world was a talking guide dog (who the character barely used) but otherwise the character still took notes on a tape recorder. It was written in the 60s so maybe a braille display or notetaker was too much of a strange concept but I feel like they could have thought of something. Is modern science fiction any better? is there any science stories that involve futuristic assistive tech beyond just curing blindness with bionic eyes?
