Being involved with the BibleTime frontend, I can say that to my knowledge BibleTime has not been tested. There is a long-standing low-priority issue for this thou: https://github.com/bibletime/bibletime/issues/5 We haven't given this issue much thought, but it would probably require a redesign of the BibleTime frontend, to the extent that writing an entirely new, a more accessible frontend, might be a better option, because it might not be straightforward to make some of our GUI flows usable with text-to-speech engines. While BibleTime uses the Qt toolkit for the GUI and the latter has at least some support for accessibility interfaces, we have not had any code changes being introduced for accessibility as far as I know. I guess many (including myself) don't have a much knowledge (let alone experience) about how to develop and test accessible frontends, so any guidance on this matter would be welcome. What environments, software or screen readers are used, are there any guides available for best practices (e.g. like Web Content Accessibility Guidelines are for the web) etc?
