Most accessible Reddit app? (self.Blind)
submitted by LeftAl
Which app is everyone using with their screen readers? I've always used bacon reader but it's not updated frequently enough. I've tried the official Reddit app but I don't like how it reads out each line rather than whole titles.

Bacon Reader is the only option, as far as I know. What do you mean by "not updated frequently enough"? It seems to work well whenever I use it; what updates do you need?

Implementation of v.reddit mainly, but other stuff like Reddit chat, image attachments in DMs etc.

Reddit Chat has no API, as it's in beta. So no client does that. And as far as I know, you can't send images in a private message. And baconreader works fine with v.reddit last time I tried it. For viewing, at least.

I use Bacon Reader and mutter darkly to myself whenever it: (1) has strange focus issues, (2) has many buttons that get in the way when rotor actions would work just as well, or (3) stops reading in the middle of a long sequence of comments until I three-finger flick up then two-finger flick down to make it continue reading.

I know exactly what you mean. I also hate how it's hard to drag your finger around and find short comments.

I use the desktop site since it's accessible enough.

I use the default reddit app and just slide my finger down the middle of the screen, works well enough.
