Dw and the Blind: Voice Commands and audio feedback?

BlindGuyNW · 09-27-16, 01:09 AM

Hi All,

I was reading about submarine simulations again tonight, and stumbled on the fact that DW has some voice commands which seem to enable quite a bit of the game to be played vocally.

What I'm wondering about is how much audio feedback is provided to accompany them. A few years back, there was a big fuss in the blind gaming community, when it turned out that certain mods enabled Microsoft Flight Simulator to be playable, or at least a good portion of it.

While this is hardly the same game, I'm wondering if anything might be done to make DW likewise at least partially playable. I ask this as someone who doesn't yet have the game, so I don't know what the interface or menu structure looks like to my screen reading programs.

Does anybody have thoughts on this sort of thing? I'm willing to provide more information as necessary.
