moin moin Eric,

I passed your request on as part of the deluge they get from the public.

I will try to get some actual humans to consider your request.

As you know, I'm not too familiar with screen readers. Most of what I know
is from posts you and Steve have made over the years.

Do you mean an acessibility API for the KDE desktop or an API that
applications would incorporate or both or something else?

It looks like an accessibility API has been considered, but isn't yet
there for GNU/Linux, as described on the following page.

https://accessibility.kde.org/developer/introduction.php

ciao,

der.hans
