Unity Accessibility

[CJSolo]

Hello all!

First, I am sorry if this is the wrong forum for this, but it didn’t seem to fit anywhere else.

I am a blind student in software development. I was wondering if there are any sort of plans to make the developer side of Unity more accessible to screen reader software? If there isn’t, then I am curious if it is possible to do everything through scripts, placement and control of graphics, audio. etc etc.

I’ve been trying to find some method to develope my game projects as much on my own as possible. Ideas, suggestions, would be great.

Thanks!
