Comment (by mcs):

 Do you know which platform the visually impaired users are on?

 Kathy and I experimented with Tor Browser 4.5a3 on Mac OS 10.9.5 and tried
 to use the system VoiceOver utility.  But when the initial setup wizard is
 open, VoiceOver thinks that no windows are open in the Tor Browser
 application (and therefore VoiceOver does nothing – you cannot navigate
 among text labels, etc. because VoiceOver is completely unaware that the
 wizard window exists).  This must have something to do with the fact that
 the browser has not completely started up yet (the setup wizard is modal
 and blocks startup in order to prevent the first browser window from
 opening).

 Ignoring the initial setup problem, Mac OS's VoiceOver feature does work
 on Tor Launcher's Tor Network Settings window, although support seems to
 be somewhat buggy (e.g., you cannot navigate among radio buttons without
 appearing to choose them, and choosing them has no effect).  So far, these
 bugs seem to be present in Firefox too.
