Opportunity for improvement in terms of a11y

Jeff Kelly
I have been evaluating the service for a couple weeks and as a screen reader user, the fun is taken out of it for me as I have to spend more time messing with my screen reader than actually enjoying the service. issues I've run into include:
no automatic reading of text generations and no easy way to find them with a screen reader. Perhaps these should be aria live regions.
Many buttons in the UI are unlabeled and therefore a screen reader user needs to guess at their function. For example, to find the settings/support page, I had to click something referred to by my screen reader as "button 14".
Non standard menus and selection methods are utilized all over the site, which break screen readers. For example, when trying to select a genre at the startof a holo, or changing AI settings. Those menus are totally inaccessible.
I would love to support the service as it generates some really nice content; but at this point I can't justify staying. if a11y ever becomes a priority, I would be happy to revisit.
