Request for accessibility considerations

[rahulbhai9]

Lichess believes that everyone should be able to play chess regardless of the age, gender or disability. I am a visually challenged person. I think Lichess is the only major website which is accessible with screen readers. I would love to see mobile application which is accessible with screen readers for visually challenge people. Specially the chess board should be accessible. I should be able to click on a peace to select it and should be able to click a square to drop the peace there. moves should be announced by screen reader. I should be able to read Times of both players with screen reader. Thank you.

Great idea. Luckily, Flutter's support for screen readers is pretty sweet using the Semantics class. This is a nice blog piece describing the process, just putting it out here.

Thank you for considering my Idea. And yes I am aware that flutter is fully accessible with screen readers. When I wanted to create a chess app I was unable to find any chess board package which was accessible with screen readers. That is my concern. So if a custom package for chess board will be used throughout the app make sure its accessible. Otherwise please consider creating a package which is accessible for all. I will be giving my feedbacks how ever and wherever I can. Thank you.

I started to do it here: bdadab6

Then plan is to make the app fully accessible, including all new features. Next step is to work on a way to make moves using a keyboard.

First of all thank you so much for considering the request. having keyboard support is very good but I would also like to have following functionality. I should be able to make moves just by clicking on source square and target square. I appreciate each and every efforts which are being made to improve accessibility. Thank you so much.
