i think the chance ereactos has is to develop accessibility as part of the 
os instead of depending on a screenreader. when reactos does all 
accessibillity stuff itself it can make things accessibel that are not 
accessibel with screenreaders because the accessibility is built into the 
os itself, like graphics are sent to the gpu text should be sent to the 
braille display, maybe it should be built like a monochrome mode, 
everything should still work but the used screen is not capable of anny 
graphics so just the text should be sent to it.
