Welcome to Squeak!
I don't see any intrinsic problems in making Squeak accessible. Squeak is a
multimedia authoring system. It has packages to generate sound and convert
text to sound. I guess nobody with visual difficulties has looked into the
possibilities so far. It should be possible to create a hot key to read out
text, mouse position.
Version 3.8 image contain a Speech-TTS package for converting text to speech.
You can open a workspace by pressing alt k and then type:
Speaker child say: 'welcome to squeak'
and press alt-d to run this statement, you can hear a greeting in a child's
voice.
What would you like to see in Squeak?
