Hello.
My name is Christian. I am from Serbia, a country in southeastern europe.
I still don't play GTA, but I write on behalf of a friend of mine who is blind. I am blind as well.
I am interested, is it possible to make the simple trainer accessible to screen readers?
The best way to do that would be to expose the trainer menu to MSAA (microsoft accessibility API) or UIA, which is a newer API (accessible programming interface) found in windows 10. By exposing all the menu controls and giving them a label, variable state (on/off) and a value for edit boxes, screen readers would be able to read the controls accurately.
After doing that, screen readers must know that the controls are exposed to get the text to read, that's where nvda controller client.dll is used. Nvda is a free screen reader which is used by many blind people. Making the trainer work with it would make GTAV accessible for us.
If you need any more info, contact me at the following email address:
