Travis, While certainly such an article can exist, speaking personally, treating accessibility as if it must be built, one population at a time is frankly a disservice. In fact, speaking personally, that is part of why accessibility has made such little progress, in part to be sure. One does no

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. On 1/29/2023

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 o

I suppose if they're interested in articles on accessibility, I should probably write one on visually impaired access.  I tried to get a screen reader included into the project several years ago, and was turned down, because of the license of the code, even though it didn't have any restriction
