Welcome to the fed guys. Out of interest, how do you guys consume content? This big app war made gave awareness of how bad reddit was for you guys, so i'm just interested in learning.
Are you able to have text posts be read out to you and such? Glad you have the tools here to enjoy the content! Welcome.
I cannot tell you what they use for administration and moderation but for reading Jerbao has been working great with TalkBack on Android, Chrome has been doing well with JAWS on Windows, and Orca okay with Firefox on Debian...but Orca can often be more of a stretch for a lot of things.
The only thing that would be on my wish list would be better defined key bindings/shortcuts for the web UI...maybe even have the bindings listed in the labels of controls...they are absent for me when using carat browsing on Chrome Canary
The apps have to properly support accessibility APIs, but the text to speech (or Braille!) part is handled by software called screen readers. All OSs have them built in.
