One thing, TUIs are MUCH MUCH worse for screen readers than (well made) websites.
TUIs (as currently designed) have no structure, so it's very difficult to move around from section to section. A website with headers and auto-wrapping text is much easier to move around and read with a screen reader.
- acapybara 6y agoAt one point, web designers were making an effort to use semantic markup and create a "semantic web." That sure would have been nice for the screen readers.
