Side-remark on this side-remark.

 From what I've learned in Linz 1 year ago, the main Open-Source product in 
this area is NVDA https://www.nvaccess.org (for Windows only).

The editor, whatever it is, needs to connect to that. There is even an 
official accessibility API Java, but I don't know if and how that works.
