Hi John, thanks for willing to help.
Yes, you can expose relevant information to screen readers via APIs.
Please see for details:

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.
Thanks,
John.

Hello all,
Is anyone here aware of screen reading software, that is software which helps
blind people to use the computer by speaking aloud information that is on the
screen? You can see an example here:

I'd like to learn factor, so I of course need to use its listener feature in
order to enter commands. However, the screen reader linked above, called NVDA,
isn't able to interact well with the listener's user interface. Is ot OpenGL?
Normally, screen readers like NVDA are able to interact well with console
applications, such as the Windows command prompt (cmd) or PowerShell, which
make use of standard controls (or widgets) for console applications in Windows.
So, it appears that the UI you chose for the Listener are implementing some
custom control that isn't being recognized by NVDA.
My suggestion is that you could offer a way to choose an alternative interface,
lets say a command line option, which would select the standard UI offered by
the system for console applications.
Thanks and best,
Cleverson
