Can you add to VLC a support for reading subtitles with the os screen reader? Currently only PodPlayer supports that after KMP turned into an adware.

Also, if you can offer native accessibility support would be much better for screen reader users. Currently, I need an extension for NVDA to use the VLC player.

it's already doable. But it does disable the display of subtitles.


Hi again. Just wanted to add that I found the feature but it is definitely bad. I'll move the improvement proposal to the dedicated places though.


Hi, if it is possible, I really can't find where and how.

First result on google.


Thanks for that one. DDG didn't show it and I don't remember finding it when I've searched with Google.

Potplayer became adware too...
