TeamTalk VoiceOver Client – Accessible communication tool for blind gamers

[fla-rion]

Hi! I'm Florian, developer of the TeamTalk VoiceOver Client — an open-source Python (wxPython/PySide6) TeamTalk 5 client built specifically for VoiceOver (macOS), NVDA/JAWS (Windows), and Braille display users.

Project: https://github.com/fla-rion/TeamTalk-VO-Client

Why I'm reaching out

SoniFight makes games accessible to blind players through sonification. Our client makes voice communication accessible to blind users. These go hand in hand: blind gamers often coordinate through TeamTalk voice channels — community play sessions, game commentary, team coordination.

We'd love to connect with developers building accessible gaming tools.

About our project

TeamTalk is a voice communication system with a strong blind/VI gaming community. Our client provides:

• Fully accessible UI (VoiceOver on macOS, NVDA/JAWS on Windows, Braille display support)
• TTS notification engine for events
• Channel management, file sharing, admin tools — all screen-reader accessible
• Open-source Python (wxPython/PySide6)

The connection

Many blind gamers who use SoniFight-compatible titles are also active on TeamTalk servers. An accessible gaming tool + an accessible communication tool = a more complete blind gaming setup.

What I'd love to discuss

1. Cross-promotion: Would you be interested in mentioning TeamTalk as a communication option for blind gamers in your docs or community? We're happy to do the same.
2. Shared community: Are there blind gaming communities or forums where both projects might be relevant?
3. Collaboration ideas: Any interest in joint documentation around accessible gaming + communication setups for blind users?

Thanks for building SoniFight — it's exactly the kind of work that makes gaming accessible. Would love to connect.
