thanks for the information. I thought maybe there was a java access bridge that I do not know about. BTW: How do you recommend linux distributions? I install myself on an older computer, several benefits will come of this.

GTK is, unfortunately, not accessible under Windows because there is no GTK bridge to Microsoft's accessibility APIs.
I can confirm, though, that CHIRP is quite accessible under Linux and Orca. I'm blind myself, and just a couple months ago submitted a patch to make Orca speak control labels in the settings screen. With CHIRP and Orca, I seem to have full access to tweak the settings on my Baofeng GT-3 without using its mostly inaccessible menu system.
If you'd rather not dedicate a full box to Linux just to run CHIRP accessibly, it may be possible to get a GNOME/Mate environment running on a single-board system like the RPi. I'm thinking of making such a system for programming the radio when away from my laptop.
As an aside, I'm wondering if CHIRP might ever get some sort of real-time control panel for live mode radios? This would make it plus an SBC a compelling replacement for devices like the hampod (http://hampod.com/.) I might take a crack at such a feature someday if it isn't out of scope. I'm imagining a separate tab alongside channels and settings for tweaking VFO, reading any exported radio stats, etc. I think there's a name for this functionality, but I forget what it is. I want to say CAT?

Hello, I have a question about the accessibility of the program for people using a screen reader. (e.g., NVDA). does anyone have any experience in this matter? I have pre-tested but the program is completely inaccessible. it's about windows10.
I am looking for a software for a blind person to be able to program the radio myself.
