Yes, but if they want articles on accessibility, I see no reason why an
article on visually impaired access with screen readers can't be an
article. If folks want to write articles for other accessibility
features, then feel free to do so. I can't write about what I don't know.

He did, if memory serves, get permission from the creator of asap and
asaw to include it in his project.
I might be entirely wrong, or he has a different one for dosbox.
However, as shared, access is not about screen readers alone, it is
frankly disturbing the folks who feel otherwise, because they hear
such all the time.

Possibly, but asap isn't opensource, so no article there.
I do have an opensource screen reader, but again, it requires a
physical synth, so I need to work on that somehow.
Plus I have to find where I stuffed the source, it's around here
somewhere, but I haven't seen it in a while.
On the other hand, I'd be interested to see how ASAP was made to
work, that should be an interesting reveal.

The journey to getting accessibility, not just screen readers, but
voice
tools for those needing that kind of inclusion, might make for an
interesting piece.
Since opensource seeks well open source smiles, the article might
encourage creativity towards coding solutions that benefit many
populations. After all, accessibility is not about blindness alone.
