"textContent": "Hi everyone,\n\nI built an SSH terminal with accessibility as a core feature, not an afterthought.\n\nWIA SOOM includes:\n- WIA Braille — universal Braille for 7,000 languages (IPA-based)\n- Terminal Braille Overlay — shows braille translation below each terminal line, works with\nrefreshable braille displays\n- Screen reader mode with xterm.js accessibility tree (tested with NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver, TalkBack)\n- Built-in setup guides for each screen reader\n- High contrast mode, TTS (reads pages aloud), reduced motion\n- RTL support (Arabic, Hebrew, Persian)\n- 254 languages, fully translated UI\n- Multimodal — paste images into SSH, AI analyzes them\n- Free\n\nI'd love feedback from this community on how to improve the accessibility experience.\n\nwiasoom.com\n58s demo: https://youtu.be/Rv_bSDcHVJo\nDiscord: https://discord.gg/QNcDSGRzAT",
