What's the easiest way to get up and running with a screen reader? :bunthink:

I want to try putting on a blindfold and using #Willow exclusively through a screen reader to test its accessibility

Depends on your OS: if you use Windows, download and install NVDA, maybe read the quickstart guide (section 2.3 of the user guide).

Having read your profile gnu/linux seems more likely. In that case if you have gnoem installed you should have orca, which is the available screen reader. I would warn you accessibility on gnu/linux isn't great. Can't recall if you'll need to install voices or some are already there by default (I expect this depends on your distribution).
