That wouldn't help, at least with my bank in the UK, the iframe just shows a message to open the mobile app to approve the payment. The payment details are then shown in the app, you don't interact with the page in the iframe at a

I would hate to have to do any editing in ed. Just reading a file line by line would be painful. GUI programs are actually often easier for blind people in the same way they are for everyone else as long as they have good keyboard navigatio

It can be useful, although the usual caveats with LLMs apply. for example I can get a description of the contents of a window or control with one keystroke. Here is what it says about this HN page: The image shows a screenshot of a text-bas

This is definitely true in the case of phones, but not for computers. NVDA on Windows is excellent and improving all the time.
