balenaEtcher accessibility concerns

The balenaEtcher web page says “Flash OS images to SD cards & USB drives, safely and easily.” This sounds like just the thing for beginning RasPi users. However, I’m concerned that a blind user might not be able to install and use balenaEtcher.

Searching a bit, I was unable to find any discussion about balenaEtcher’s accessibility. Indeed, the forum seemed unwilling to let me use accessibility as an “optional tag”. Can anyone point me to relevant information? And, if there is none, might anyone be interested in taking on accessibility as a project?

Hi Rich,
I’m pretty sure the team in Balena is dedicated to deliver robust, competitive and accessible for everyone services and products.
Can you provide some feedback here or, maybe directly on the product repository:


People from the community are involved into the product development.
Thanks!
