We could make a function like M-x ring-audible-bell (but you should choose a better name than that) that would let blind / VI (visually impaired) users know that Emacs is working. Or we could design Emacs so that when they launch Emacs using the command "emacspeak", then C-g will always ring the audible bell. This would be slightly more inconvenient for blind / VI users, but IMO much better for fully sighted users.
