Read the game in plain text with a screen reader.

screenreader

screenreader

Turn screen reader mode on or off before you connect. Type the command again
to reverse the setting.

@option screenreader

@option screenreader = on
@option screenreader = off
@option/save screenreader = on

Turn screen reader mode on or off while you play. Use /save to keep the
setting for your next connection. In the web client, turning it on also turns
on the client's screen reader mode.

Screen reader mode removes frames, bars, and art from game text. Character
sheets, menus, and combat lines become plain words.

Web client

Open the settings with Ctrl+Comma and select Access. Turn on Screen
reader mode. The client then shows one view at a time, reads new game text
aloud, puts channel messages in the game output, and stops room music. It
also turns on the game's screen reader mode.

Keys in the web client:

Alt+I go to the command line.
Alt+O go to the game output.
Alt+C go to channels.
Alt+R go to the scene.
Alt+1 to Alt+9 read one of the last nine lines again. Alt+1 is the newest.
Alt+Up and Alt+Down read the line before or after the one you last read.
Alt+Shift+Up and Alt+Shift+Down read the oldest or newest line.
Ctrl+A in the game output, select the whole scrollback, ready to copy.
Page Up and Page Down scroll the game output from the command line.

The Alt keys that read lines skip the lines your output filters hide. After
you send a command, Alt+Up starts again at the newest line.

You can also drag-select text in the game output with a mouse or trackpad.
The selection stays put while you scroll, and copying it takes the whole
passage even when it runs past what is on screen.

In the game output, type any letter to go back to the command line. You can
change the Alt keys under Keys in the settings, except Alt+1 to Alt+9.
