Screen Reader Support

Post by Yetzederixx »

Let me preface this by saying I know nothing of screen readers for anything let alone MUD clients...

I've a friend who MUD's and uses VIP MUD, but he's interested in Mudlet due to it's native speed and excellent pricing program of free. How does this work for a MUD client? Does it need to be coded as part of the program? Can it be offered as a patch for those who need it? Does he need something else to read from Mudlet? (Evidently VIP MUD provides the reading as part of the program itself.)

This is planned to add for Mudlet 3.0. It needs to be added into Mudlet, since Mudlet uses some custom elements (like the display) which don't have the support for screenreaders yet.

Ok. Perhaps with some savy scripting skills we can make the game playable for him without the reader by buffing up the font size and gagging the hell out of the game in general.
