Robert KingettI 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
🏳️⚧️PepperTheVixen🇵🇸@WeirdWriter The desktop client is a bit of a faff with NVDA, but it's navigable with some practice. If you want, I can give you a hand with it. I use it every day on Win11 with NVDA

There's a reason for that I think. It's because of Microsoft recall. in order to block microsoft recall from taking a screenshot of Signal it does something that unfortunately blocks screenreaders.
There is a setting you can turn off to disable the feature and allow screenreaders to work. the downside is that Microsoft recall and hence, embedded AI will be able to access your messages. in essence subverting End to end encryption, in a way.

The first five minutes of this talk that Signal President gave @Mer__edith explains the issue with NVDA. Deltachat works because it doesn't do this blocking of embedded AI.
