hi all, I am a blind student who is interested in embedded systems and electronics and one of the problems i have is designing a PCB. initially, I was planning to create A plugin for kicad but then thought why not make kicad itself accessible as much as possible before that without changing the current workflow. >From what I have seen so far, KiCad already has many of the foundations needed for accessibility. Much of the workflow can already be performed using the keyboard, which is ideal. It appears that many remaining issues could be addressed by exposing the necessary information to screen readers through the accessibility APIs.
I would like to contribute to this effort and help make KiCad more accessible for blind and visually impaired users. I would appreciate any guidance on where to start, areas that would benefit most from accessibility improvements, or any existing work related to accessibility that I should be aware of. If there are developers who have worked on the UI or accessibility infrastructure, I would be grateful for any advice or pointers. I look forward to contributing and working with the community to make this work as it would be a huge win for the visually impaired community. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "KiCad Developers" group.
