ErCiccioneA blind user is saying that they cannot use the GUI wallet with a screen reader. Would be important to have at least the minimal functionalities accessible for visually impaired people

ErCiccione^ they opened the issue on monero-site by mistake, i redirected them to -gui but haven't seen an open issue about it yet.
-
ErCiccionei opened monero-project/monero-site #1477
-
Inge-Would the CLI work better perhaps?
-
ErCiccioneopened the issue in the wrong repo -_-
-
ErCiccioneInge-: probably, yes, but not everybody are comfortbale in using that
-
ErCiccionecorrect issue: monero-project/monero-gui #3343
-
dEBRUYNEErCiccione: Perhaps also worthwhile to recommend other apps such as MyMonero
-
ErCiccionedEBRUYNE: I don't know how mymonero is doing when it comes to accessibility. But regardless, i think it's important to have at least minimal screen-reader support on the GUI.
-
fluffyponyErCiccione: I made a lot of noise about making sure we hooked into Qt's accessibility framework in the early days of the GUI, pity we didn't
-
ErCiccioneI see. Is it one of those things that it's much more annoying to implement after you have a lot of stuff already built?
-
selstaQML supports some accessibility features
-
selstaso just someone has to take time to add support for it
-
fluffyponyErCiccione: I think it would have been easier if we'd done it at the beginning and then built the interface out with that in mind (eg. with the metadata for each element to support screen readers)
-
fluffyponybut maybe this is a good reminder
-
fluffyponyand we can make a set of issues around this
-
Inge-Also seems like it would be nice to have some information on "where is my Monero" when synced but node still downloading blocks - seems to be the biggest issue/uncertainty for new users
