Hello! We do support a command line interface, you can run that from a command prompt, or power shell, by doing:
factor -run=listener It is also possible the factor.com is command line and the factor.exe is the graphical listener. Unfortunately, for the user interface, we currently have it rendered using OpenGL and custom controls, and I’m unsure about screen readers — it might be equivalent to trying to use a screen reader with a game interface. If we can improve it for you, we would like to. I am not very familiar with how screen readers work, but would love to learn. Maybe there are APIs we can call that can provide descriptors of what our user interface controls can do.
