[Screen-Reader Accessibility on Windows] Quick Format Citation is not accessible
1. Load "Narrator" (the built-in screen reader on Windows; FYI, JAWS does have the same issue).
2. Load the latest Zotero (v 5.0.0.0).
3. In Word, go to Zotero -> Add/Edit Citation -> Quick Format Citation
4. Type something and see if Narrator speaks any matched items: "Quick Format Citation" is completely inaccessible to screen readers.

(Zotero is also in the process of hiring or has recently hired an accessibility specialist, so I'd expect significant improvements in the medium run)
Accessibility of the main citation dialog can't be fixed in Zotero 6, but we're working to fix it for Zotero 7.
while ideally you would get that accessibility developer position filled but for now you're aware of several accessibility issues - could the current developers not work on said issues?
I don't use screen readers myself but as a librarian I just spoke with a library user who does, and uses EndNote because it's more accessible.
