There was work in the past and a lot of things have improved, but I am sure there are a lot of issues, probably starting with getting a screen reader to read the login screen. I'm very happy to see a bunch of blind users on this list showing interest recently. I think what KDE really needs is someone to push for making it work well with screen readers. KDE consists of the applications and the Plasma desktop. Many of the individual applications should be working, although I expect some tweaking would make them work a lot better. Then there is the desktop environment (Plasma) which has seen some testing and probably doesn't require insurmountable amounts of work, but certainly some. If any of you wants to champion testing and helping us get there, I think that would be superb. The project will need patience and initially sighted assistance would probably be needed, that said I'd be happy to try getting anyone started. The best setup would probably be a working Gnome environment with Plasma installed side by side, so that it's just a matter of choosing one or the other at login time. Maybe even self-compiled, to be able to test improvements quickly so that we can iterate fast.
