I must say folks, for screen reader users specifically, and often times many other groups as well, the command line is, and always was, the most rock-solid accessibility tool. If you've got a system of knowing and quickly retrieving commands and their sequences, be that from your head, a lookup database, the internet, provided its still there, you can do anything the software allows. Full stop. There is nothing preventing you from using any feature that the environment is programmed to allow, and often times, stuff it does not allow, to occur. There is nothing to click, nothing to do but read and write text. If you've got a screen reader you know well, and a good comfortable keyboard, and a good reference and understanding, you can do anything. This is why I choose Mikrotik. I can learn their CLI. I can read their insanely dense wall of text manual. Its all there. It is not an app that may get me what I need in five clicks today, and then all of a sudden shows me a blank screen tomorrow. So long as the CLI is maintained and updated, the rest is text, and absolutely nothing more than that. Plane and simple text. Learn it if you don't know it. Just pick up any CLI or API. Just learn it, and find products that make use of it. There are a lot more coming, all thanks to this new fangled AI thing.
