I'm blind and find that Superslicer out of all the free slicers is the closest to being accessible using a screen reader (NVDA on Windows 11).

I can successfully load an stl file and slice it for my printer, but it's very difficult to adjust settings if I don't want my printer's default settings.

I think a few simple changes would improve accessibility a lot!

  1. Improve keyboard navigation. Make sure all buttons and controls can be focused using the keyboard
  2. Text labels for each control

The timing on this is actually rather good. We are about to launch a new feature request section on our website shortly. This is a very good one to be added to it.

There is more to it than just what you may think on the surface, because you have internationalisation to consider and all the language/translation variants.

Given that, we might just be able to locate some commercial support to help get this in place.

If you can, please join our discord, and reach out to me there, so we can continue talks on this.
