Sorry for my late response. odt2braille is an extension, so it has the same accessibility limitations as all LibreOffice extensions that create a user interface. The extension system in LibreOffice and OpenOffice does not allow us to explicitly add labels to drop-down lists and other UI elemennts (except buttons). As a consequence, screen readers are left to guess which label belongs to which buttons based on their position. Probably, the only way to make odt2braille accessible is rewriting it entirely in C++ in order to embed it into OpenOffice and LibreOffice instead of installing it as an extension. So far, no one has offered to do this.
