Do we have a text editor that is accessible to screen readers, more performant than MS Word and maybe even supports tools like DeepL for better writing and/or translation? Any experiences? Boost appreciated!
@ToniBarth probably one that supports plugins like vs code, textmate, notepad++ etc depending on platform. but outside of that ... not sure. Scrivener on mac maybe?
@ToniBarth a friend used emacs and its a text to speech macro
lost contact with him years ago, so can't ask for setup
his demonstrations with emacs, text to speech and org mode were amazing
not sure if that fits what you're asking
Not quite. Trust me, I tried multiple. I wish there was one but they just aren't out there a lot but I list some here https://robertkingett.com/posts/6121/ #PlainText @ToniBarth
@ToniBarth #KDE's text editing framework had #TTS support for a long time and it was recently improved to be more accessible via the context menu:

A very powerful and versatile editor based on this framework is #Kate:

@ToniBarth Look at Biblos Word Processor,free, made with the blind in mind and frequently enhanced.
@DeanEquity Thanks, didn't know that one exists. However for writing my PhD, which is mainly why I was asking, this seems to not cut it. Citation, glossary and more is stuff that I need. But thanks, I'll keep it in mind.
