Hi all,

I don’t know yet if this may be of some use, but I’m currently doing some work on Android screen readers (talkback fork with new features). 
As I make progress, I’ll post them here especially regarding BRLTTY & Talkback integration, plus a potential way to have Termux working with this screen reader I’m currently developing.

I don’t want to create a kind of « false hope » (sorry for the litteral translated French phrase), but I wanted to state it here, just in case someone else was working on it to mutualize efforts.

Cheers,

—
