Screenreader mode, screenreader
Format: config screenreader yes|no
Enables support for screen readers for visually impaired players, so that all player commands and all incoming information are correctly spoken by voice assistance programs. In addition, this mode:
- will not display English names in parentheses for items lying on the ground
- will not display English names in parentheses for mobs
- for coloured items, displays an aura (Bright)
- for random weapons, shows aura ratings and tiers
- replaces most ASCII pseudo-graphics with text descriptions
- after every experience gain, says how many experience points remain to the next level
- who prints one line per player, with race, class and clan names declined to fit the line
- skills prints one skill per line
- exit lines are separated by commas
- accepts commands from voice dictation with trailing punctuation ("list.") and, while you are new, lets you pick menu choices by number ("2.", "answer 2")
In the web client the mode also adds keys. The mapper has one Tab stop: the arrows and PageUp/PageDown walk the real exits, Home returns to the current room, Enter or Space opens a room, and a button in the mapper switches it to a room list view. #review on makes Tab in the command line open the game output for reading: Up and Down read it line by line, Tab or Escape return to the command line. With review on, Alt with Left and Right switches between chat buffers, Alt with Up and Down reads older and newer messages, Alt+Home and Alt+End jump to the oldest and newest (not on a Mac). Turning on config screenreader turns review on too.
It is also recommended to disable colours:
