Ok... ...Antrhropic Opus has build test benches that instantiate GUI=20
elements from wxMaxima and then simulate a screen reader. It has=20
uploaded that to a virtual windows computer that compiled it, tried to=20
run it and send the output back.=C2=A0 After several round trips recons th=
at=20
the last wxMaxima nightly=20
(https://wolfgang.dautermann.at/maxima/nightlybuild/) now has screen=20
reader support.

As the AI neither actually uses a real screen reader nor knows what to=20
expect from it nor do I it came up with loads of questions on how to=20
make that support usable now and with a plan on what to do when there=20
are answers:=20
https://github.com/wxMaxima-developers/wxmaxima/blob/main/ACCESSIBILITY.md

Until the 7th of this month I even have access to a Mythos grade AI that=
=20
would be able to resolve big tasks, would they arise.

Kind regards,

                  <p>Dear all,<o:p></o:p></p>
                  <p>No idea if that will work out, but - a few years
                    ago I tried to add accessibility to wxMaxima, but to
                    no avail.<o:p></o:p></p>
                  <p>Now a colleague of mine has convinced me to try an
                    AI abonnement. The AI cannot really test it - at
                    least on my computer, but I wanted to announce that
                    one of the first jobs I am giving to the AI is to
                    try again to add accessibility to wxMaxima. The
                    result was loads of code changes. Currently a
                    different AI model is trying to review that code.
                    With a big bit of luck tomorrow's Nightly Build will
                    actually provide some accessibility. If it does any
                    feedback you send me will be forwarded to the AI
                    that will try to improve things.<o:p></o:p></p>
                  <p>My current impression is:<o:p></o:p></p>

                      tends to try to convince you that it did a good
                      job. If the summary focusses on how good that job
                      was - it often knows it didn't manage to make it
                      work and hopes you'll never test.<o:p></o:p></li>
