Hello everyone!
I've recently seen a tutorial potcast or somesort, about there is, or was, a way, to use Kodi with a screenreader. However, a few days ago I downloaded the latest version and there was no speech. Then I looked into it further and saw that the latest version doesn't support it anymore. What could be done, where could I get a still working version, if it even worths it? Thanks in advance!

I only know that on the raspberry pi, there's a codi screen reader. Maybe that is required in this version as well?

The Screenreader-AddOn works well until Kodi Version 16.

I'm not sure... When I looked at it, the thing was for windows, and NVDA or something supported it. Although they say it was an older version.

may be there is stil some site wich provides a download link for the old version.
And that, is why you shouldn't do this.

I am running Kodi 18.4 and the screen reader still works for me. Sometimes you have to open Kodi a few times to get it to work. Also you need sighted help to download the screen reader. Thanks.

There are keystrokes to use that will get the screenreader downloaded without sighted help but right now I don't remember them.

Yes, there's a guide.
I'll paste it here just in case the link sent earlier goes down some day.

How to make Kodi accessible to the blind through the Kodi Screen Reader service
Kodi is, quite possibly, the most well known and widely used media streaming solution out there. You can view all different types of media from video files to image files; you can even play games with it! But there's just one problem. When you first install Kodi on your device, be it your PC, your mobile device or smart TV, there is no screen reader support for the blind/visually impaired. I was very frustrated when I discovered this. However, after some online research, I found the reasoning behind this. Kodi actually has its own built-in screen reader that can be downloaded and installed as a service add-on from within the Kodi program itself. In this guide, I will describe how blind/visually impaired Kodi users like myself can take advantage of the Kodi Screen Reader.
About the screen reader
Kodi Screen Reader is a powerful tool that allows blind/visually impaired users to use the Kodi Media Centre program by speaking aloud items on the screen. It uses the operating system's built-in speech engine, like SAPI in Microsoft Windows, to provide speech output to the user. This, of course, means that you cannot change the voice of Kodi Screen Reader without first changing the default voice in your operating system's text to speech (TTS) speech settings. KSR will announce items such as buttons, dialog boxes and progress bars.
How to enable KSR
This guide assumes you are running Kodi on either the Windows or MacOS operating system. The mobile (Android/iOS) versions sadly don't have KSR. The below procedure is pretty much the same for both Windows and Mac, but there is 1 small difference.
1. Inside Kodi, press Shift + A and press Enter to access the add-ons menu.
2. Press Shift + D and press Enter to access the download menu.
3. Press Shift + S and press Enter to access the services menu.
4. Windows users, arrow down 9 times and press Enter twice. Mac users, arrow down 8 times and press Enter twice. You should hear clicking sounds as you arrow down.
5. Wait a short while for the add-on to download and install itself. Once the installation process is complete, you should hear 2 quick beeps and the speech should start. This means you did everything right and the Kodi Screen Reader service is now activated.
Congratulations! You have successfully enabled the Kodi Screen Reader! Now you can independently stream and download movies and TV shows to your heart's content. The great thing about all this is that you don't have to manually reenable KSR every time you fire up Kodi; it will automatically activate on startup.

One time, somebody sent me a portable version of Kodi. It already had the screen reader add-on installed. I'm not sure what version it is but it seems to work fine.

Well, I gave up using Kody because it's really difficult to use it with this screen reader and I couldn't understand how to install addons and what addons to use for listening to radio.
That would be cool if someone could give any recommendations about how to install addons and what addons you use.
