accessibility problem with NVDA screen reader #439
Hi,
I would like to have a taste with the software. I try installing the desktop app, yet it is not pretty accessible with NVDA
I cannot access the interface and not knowing what to do with the app.
@lstar4ever Can you recommend a free screenreader? I'd like to test how the app behaves with one, but don't know which to use. Ideally it would be free.

@lstar4ever Thank you for raising this issue. I'll investigate what we can do to support NVDA and other screen reading software.

@lstar4ever I don't think @47sallo93's advice is relevant.
Add 'Start Speaking' and 'Stop Speaking' menu item (Mac)

@lstar4ever Have you had a chance to play with a recent version of WebTorrent Desktop? Has the situation improved at all?
I ask you because according to this thread, later versions of Chromium expose a lot more to screen readers: atom/atom#1691
If you could test with WebTorrent Desktop 0.18.0 that would be great!

Is this still relevant? If so, what is blocking it? Is there anything you can do to help move it forward?
