A few accessibility issues in RadioCaster

[DJ Graco]

Hello,
I would like to report some accessibility issues with the screen readers in RadioCaster. I have turned on the option in menu.
1. Buy the full version dialog. Only the Buy Now, Continue, and Unlock buttons are visible to the screen reader. I use NVDA. When I press INSert+B to read the entire window, the text about the benefits of buying the full version and that the trial version emits a tone every few minutes is skipped.
The same is true for the about the program dialog in the help menu. The screen reader only sees the OK button.
2. The window for entering the product key.
The screen reader does not see the link to recover the lost key or the entire enter the registration code below etc. text.
The check for updates window, the same, the screen reader only sees the close button.
3. There are several unlabeled buttons in the Scheduler.
That's all I've noticed so far.
It would be nice if these accessibility issues could be fixed. It would make the entire program easier to read.
Greetings
DJ Graco

There is one more thing. It would be worth taking a look at the settings, there are a lot of unlabeled dropdown lists and edit fields.

Thank you for the details about the accessibility - we'll take this into account for the next update.

One more thing I noticed. In the status window, where we have a read-only edit field, where current status information is displayed, (in all tabs). This field behaves very strangely with screen readers. The cursor always runs away to the bottom, I have to press the up arrow several times quickly to read the appropriate information, because the cursor will soon land at the very bottom of this edit field. It is also not easy, for example, if you wanted to spell out the appropriate information with the left/right arrows through the running cursor.

Sorry, that this is just another post under a post. I'm just sharing my observations regarding accessibility when using the program. That's all for now. In advanced preferences, edit fields are not marked for screen readers, there is no label.

Sorry I forgot to answer here. The status window accessibility was added to the bug tracker and will be fixed in the next update.

About Advanced Settings in RadioBOSS, it's not yet accessible for technical reasons, and also this section is not intended to be used much. Most of those options are experimental, are not documented and rarely needed. The ones that are really needed are later moved to settings UI where they become accessible.
