Accessible Telegram – Desktop
Accessible Telegram – Desktop is dedicated to making the official Telegram Desktop Application accessible for blind and visually impaired users. Currently, the desktop version does not communicate well with screen readers, making it difficult to use without sight. Our solution modifies the app to properly “speak” to assistive software, allowing visually impaired individuals to message, collaborate, and connect independently on their computers, just as they do on their phones.
