I appreciate the feedback and am sorry it hasn't been taken care of
comprehensively before. We have made some efforts on the accessibility
in the past, in particular with Orbot and some of the new websites we
have put up. Otherwise, there is no excuse really, and good pokes like
yours to make sure we enable the correct labels in all of our projects
are welcome.
Best,
Nathan

Hello,
I would first like to say how much I appreciate the work that is done by this
project. Every single application helps save lives and create better ones
through privacy.
However, I am pretty sure you are unaware of this, but the design of your apps
are missing tiny fraction of code that make them an accessible to those that
use screen readers. Buttons, labels and images need to be marked with
alternative text so that screen readers such as voiceover (iOS) and Talk Back
(Android) can navigate the app. It will be is as simple as adding alternative
text and code to name the given elements and that is all that is needed for
your apps to be accessible to an entire population of people like myself that
are blind or visually impaired.
This is a good resource also explaining what I am talking about:

The same process needs to be applied to the images on your website to explain
exactly what the image entails. Thank you,
