Sorry I don't have an answer to your question but I'd like to know this as well.
I've tried with stocktwits, as well as some other sites. There used to be an audiograph feature on the robinhood app for iphone. There is a very basic audio accessible chart feature in the native ios stocks app but its not really good enough for high level analysis like you're wanting to do.
I hope you find an answer and I'm definitely gonna keep an eye on this thread.
Best of luck.

If you know python, there's a library called stocker: link: https://github.com/WillKoehrsen/Data-Analysis/tree/master/stocker
From there, you could also use openpyxl link to documentation: https://openpyxl.readthedocs.io/en/stable/
You can install openpyxl with
pip install openpyxl
So with stocker you can pull the data you want, and then with openpyxl you can export it into a spreadsheet. If you need any help with specifics, feel free to ask. I don't have any experience with stocker, but I do have a lot of experience with openpyxl.

No prob, if you need any help at all let me know I'm interested in these types of project as my job is mostly web scraping and creating spreadsheets lol.
https://www.scrapehero.com/scrape-yahoo-finance-stock-market-data/
I also found that link that goes over how they pull the data from yahoo finance. There is one image screenshot but the screenshot basically just repeats the article so you're not missing out. Perhaps that would be easier than the stocker library. I'm not sure, just an idea for you to browse. good luck

Thanks for the kind offer. Yahoo finance won't work for me, I live in a backwater country. The data for our stock market isn't there. There is an API though, so maybe I can use that.

Are you looking to do real time analysis?
Can you code at all in python?

Doesn't matter much. I just want to find buy and sell signals, find support and resistance and the like. And yes, I can code in Python 3.

Pulling the data through an Api and passing it through audio plot. Will give you a quick and accessible audio representation of the data.

Thanks. What package is that? I searched for it and didn't find anything. There was a package called iracema, but it's for music.

I have not submitted it to pip yet. I will post a link when I get back to my computer
