Open kaveinthran opened 3 years ago

HI,

As a blind user, I find it disappointing that I can't use poddrat all. NO controls are visible to my screenreader and I can't operate the application with keyboard at all.

as a blind user, I use screenreader which depend on the application programming structure to convey information to me. I really hope the developer will put an effort to adopt inclusive principle to design the app so that the app will be accessible to all,

You can try using the opensource and free screenreader nvda with poddrto get the bigger picture, download nvda here https://www.nvaccess.org/download

Hi @kaveinthran! Thanks for opening this issue, I remember we've talked about this before on Twitter and I haven't forgotten about this. I still intend to improve the interface for blind users and I can understand your disappointment that it has taken this long.

Between the ongoing pandemic affecting me and my family and life in general, work on Poddr has been slow these past couple of months. Unfortunately I've to make a living and Poddr is not generating any income to talk about which unfortunately forces me to prioritize other things.

I did download NVDA after our last conversation and I've to admit that for me it's difficult to sometimes distinguish between good and bad screenreader interactions. When the time comes I would love to get help from someone more experienced like yourself to make sure it gets done right. I can't make any promises about when this work can be done but I'll make sure to keep this issue updated.

Thanks again for opening this issue! Regards, Marcus @Sn8z Sneitz
