1. Salamandra Radio - an automation software for station in its early development. Screen reader specific fixes have been mentioned in the release notes and so were hotkeys, although these do not seem to be documented anywhere; the app starts in Portuguese by default but a change to English is possible in the settings; also buttons in the toolbar do not seem to be labelled but upon focusing them, a tooltip is read out so we can go by those to tell what the buttons are doing.

2. Axios - a simple radio player supporting the Radio Browser API. It is accessible in a similar way as Salamandra, allows for searching the directory, playing whatever is found, and controlling the volume.

Feel free to explore, hack, spread the word or do whatever else you usually do in such cases.

#Radio in the #UK just absolutely sucks!
I don't own a good #AM tuner, but I can only get one station at home around Newcastle (Greatest Hits) who don't even advertise their AM frequency any more, that's how few people use AM here.
There's only like 10 or so #FM stations. 5 of them are BBC stations including the local BBC station, most of the rest are owned by Global, and some of their stations (Metro and Heart for example) play basically the same things. Not to mention they're all syndicated. In Stirling I can get 103.1 Central FM, who I think are independent? But not in stereo.
There's a lot more choice on #DAB, but as Techmoan has covered before, the bitrates and formats DAB use is so low that it's utter rubbish to listen to compared to FM.
And of course there's #InternetRadio, but where's the fun in that? And what'll you do when you suddenly lose cellular connectivity?
Meanwhile Vwestlife in #NJ, #USA can DX all this at night, just on AM! youtu.be/F1j9L9rstws

- A tiny version of the Czech remotes system, at that time capable of triggering the audible traffic lights, currently also the talking public transport info boards;
- an exceptional training of the public transport drivers who always stopped the bus right in front of you as long as you stood at the designated, tactile spot; opened the door and told you the bus/tram line they were driving;
- a tactile line going across what seemed to be all of the city's market square which made for a nice walk through the city center;
- the general feeling of safety that encouraged me to take long walks and explore the city by myself;
- the amazing community around my former workplace, Freirad, the social, community-driven radio station that focused on giving voice to those who wouldn't find it in the mainstream media. This meant tons of content from marginalized groups, a wealth of diverse cultural, music and linguistic spectrum and plenty of social initiatives on air. Of course, blind and partially sighted radio hosts were more than welcome and I was happy to be a part of this journey, organizing workshops for prospective hosts with visual impairments, including a really fun group of kids and spreading the word about the importance of accessibility which was always well-received. My former show on Freirad aired for the last time today so it's a bit of a chapter closing.

By the device of anecdotal evidence I know that a similar system existed in Slovenia.
Another thing that was available in Italy, and I haven't heard of it anywhere else before, are accessible audio menus on DVD's.
