How might the .NET CLI be adapted for better accessibility across screen readers and speech-to-text tools?

Thank you for reaching out. Please find the answer below.

1.Structured Output: Ensure that command outputs are clearly structured. For instance, including headers, organizing output into tables, and using formatting like JSON can improve readability for screen readers. You can consider adopting formatted outputs (like CSV) that are easily interpreted by other tools. Use consistent formatting with clear headings, bullet points, and indentation.

• Include summary lines at the end of commands (e.g., “Build succeeded with 0 warnings and 2 errors”).

2. Error Messaging: Craft clear and concise error messages. Avoid jargon and ensure that error messages provide actionable steps for resolution. It can be helpful if these messages also follow a standard format that a screen reader can easily navigate.

3. Use of Tools: Consider incorporating tools that allow your output to be manipulated for better accessibility. For instance, commands like Out-GridView in PowerShell can provide a more interactive table view that is friendly to screen readers.

4.Follow WCAG: Adhere to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) which define how to make web content more accessible. This includes ensuring that all elements are visually identifiable and that interfaces do not rely solely on visual cues.
