I know #Signal is very popular, but at least for me, using NVDA, the desktop client is far less screen reader friendly than the mobile clients.

The mobile clients work far better for me, but I honestly don't use my phone for much these days outside of being a media player that can make phone calls, so, as of right now, I'd recommend Delta Chat instead https://delta.chat/en/ #DeltaChat
@WeirdWriter ask the devs to fix it, give them all the issues they're really receptive to feedback.

@clv1 @WeirdWriter I tried Delta a few years ago and found hte desktop client very unimpressive and the mobile clients had real access issues around voice messages. Have these things been bettered?

@nick @WeirdWriter I don't know about mobile; on desktop, I wouldn't call it most productive, but accessible and usable yes.

@WeirdWriter in my case i recommend delta, because unlike #signal, it's not gatekeeped by 3 monopolistic hyperscaler server that all cave to US command.

@WeirdWriter @PepperTheVixen In general, it would be really nice if @signalapp could have better accessibility support.
@bdorer @WeirdWriter @signalapp I agree. It's overall pretty good, but some parts could use improvement. I'd like the multiline edit field to play nicer with NVDA, the search field to be less frustrating, and I really wish they could make NVDA stop reading out timestamps every few minutes. That said, the interface is very navigable. Mayhaps I should write a guide for it once I wrap up the Discord guide...

@PepperTheVixen @bdorer @signalapp Wait where is your discord guide?

@WeirdWriter Right here! It's a work in progress. It's intended for someone who knows NVDA well but maybe struggles with wrapping their head around the rather complex structure of the discord app. This link will take you to the branch with the most up-to-date content https://github.com/PepperTheVixen/Discord-With-NVDA/tree/rework
