An accessibility mod for Hearthstone
Back to Games#1 SeedyTV
In case you didn't already know, an accessibility mod was recently released for Blizard's Hearthstone, a stratigy card battle game.
On its own, Hearthstone is inaccessible, being mainly mouse driven and lacking any kind of TTS or screen reader support. This accessibility mod, made by guide_dev, adds keyboard commands, screen reader support and in-game speech to make the game playable to those who are blind.
To download and install Hearthstone, you need both a battle.net account and the free battle.net Windows client.
You can learn about the mod, as well as Hearthstone itself, by visiting https://hearthstoneaccess.github.io/

Indeed it's a great mod. Some stuff can be accessed only with golden cursor though. Anyone who has a resolution of 1920x1080, I'm attaching a gc file which is made by Lirin from the audiogames forum and partly by me and my sister. The addon lets you navigate those things which aren't yet implemented in the mod.

i have some crappy problem in that game. So now it stopped working, and i don't know what to do with it. After it launches it says loding game, loads, and then when i click on solo adventures and go to start game, it starts clicking, and then starts being a laggy dumpster, after that it says faidel error screen, close, your game has been saved, please launch hearthstone again to continu whereyou left off. Relunching doesn't fix anything. Thanks for listening, and hope i can fix this crapster
#7 Tschapajew
Is the .gc file the most new one or does one have a newer version available to upload here?
#8 ArcticMoon
Dragma13: you need to patch the game again using the hearthstone access patcher.
Tschapajev, I'm attaching the most recent gc file which has everything in it.
