Hi everyone! Can anyone who depends on a screen reader read this for me and tell me if it works? I'm making a tutorial on how to make a Roguelike for my blind accessible game engine, so just wanna make sure it's in a good format! It will have informational and instructional content split up to hopefully make it easier for screen readers to find what is needed. Download .txt sample file here!

@talon Thanks! Any suggestions/hints for technical documents to be better with screen readers?

Hmm. If it's just text then I'd say just the usual stuff. Try to avoid ascii art. I'd even go as far as to say you don't need to explicitly point out how many lines are in each section. Just put a double line break and a heading for the next section and that should be good enough.

@talon Good point! Instead I think I'll just number each header, so that way if there is an issue it's as easy as saying "Instructions 9 doesn't make sense"

@pax @talon Well the first version I'm releasing soon won't be too impressive, but I hope to get good feedback and help me do better after this test!
