I've got a friend who is using Windows 7 and I "sold" him the benefits of open source, and he actually wants to try Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (that's the good news)! The bad news are: he is visually impaired and he has some problems with his hands/fingers.

Are there some packages that can help visually impaired people?

Like a zoom shortcuts with his mouse … I don't know … And also packages that can write with voices? He uses accessibility stuff in his phone doing that, so it might be good on his PC as well.

There is software already installed in Ubuntu dealing with accessibility under Universal Access in Settings. Check out Visual Impairments in https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/a11y.html
