I have a good friend, for real, that is slowly going #blind. Is there a good plugin for #thunderbird
to read emails without involving a #bigCorp ?
I'm thinking of
1) Open email in window,
2) click button that says "read aloud"
She is not blind yet, this would be like training wheels to get her use to using a screen reader while she can still see a little.
@mral
I guess with most screenreaders you need to select text first...
I found this - hope it helps:

Thanks for the link, I'll look into them.
@HirschKauz @mral Just to pick up on your comment about selecting text - NVDA (most screen readers, tbh), will read text as you navigate. To read an email or a web page, you can give it a command to "say all" & it will read everything, or press down arrow to move one line at a time, or navigate however you need (control+down arrow by paragraph, control+right arrow by word, just right arrow by letter, etc). We aim for it to read most of what you need without needing to press anything special.
