### Screen reader support
Accessibility should be every developer's top priority, full-stop. Someone being excluded from an experience for factors outside of their control is an area that video games and applications have the potential to circumvent entirely. It does, however, take a solid framework to allow such accommodations to take place. To streamline this process for everyone—players and developers alike—our resident tech guru [bruvzg](https://github.com/bruvzg) took to the absolutely Herculean task of integrating [AccessKit](https://github.com/AccessKit/accesskit) to Godot as a whole.

[GH-76829](https://github.com/godotengine/godot/pull/76829) was a project two years in the making, changing over **32,000** lines of code, and incurred hundreds of comments with feedback/testing. Users are encouraged to look at the pull request for more information, as there's no feasible way we could properly summarize these changes. Unsurprisingly, this was *by far* the change with the most ramifications of the entire snapshot, so much so that it's already seen [multiple](https://github.com/godotengine/godot/pull/105197) [fixes](https://github.com/godotengine/godot/pull/105216) caused by its regressions, but it's well worth it. After all, accessibility is our top priority!
[GH-76829](https://github.com/godotengine/godot/pull/76829) was a project started two years ago, which progressed in bursts alongside the AccessKit framework. For the 4.5 release, we made it a priority to finalize, and thus we now merged this major feature with over **32,000** lines of code, after hundreds of comments with feedback/testing. Users are encouraged to look at the pull request for more information, as there's no feasible way we could properly summarize these changes. Unsurprisingly, this was *by far* the change with the most ramifications of the entire snapshot, so much so that it's already seen [multiple](https://github.com/godotengine/godot/pull/105197) [fixes](https://github.com/godotengine/godot/pull/105216) to address regressions (even [one](https://github.com/godotengine/godot/pull/105764) right when validating this snapshot), but it's well worth it. After all, accessibility is our top priority!
This is only the first but massive step towards making Godot more accessible. In particular for the editor, a lot more work will be needed to make it really usable, as well as integrate with accessibility frameworks for mobile or web platforms.
