By default out of the box, MushClient supports neither speech nor an
output window. You can technically use your screen review commands to
read text, but that's clunky and impractical.
Plugins provide a basically unlimited ability to expand the client, and
there are several common plugins that are used to make it one of the
best for vi/blind folks.
MushClient has a built-in notepad function, and the output_functions
plugin uses this to create a constantly updated output window. You press
ctrl+tab to move between the output window and game.
MushReader interacts with all the main screen readers, and sends
incoming text directly to them. You can type tts to turn speech on and off.
Other plugins you'll commonly see are channel_history which provides the
ability to review recent messages with alt and the number row, and lua
audio, which provides a lot of sound-handling functionality not included
in the client by default.
Mush-z, please remember to differentiate this from mushClient, is very
specifically tailored for Alter Aeon. It cannot be used with other
worlds as the plugins in it have been heavily modified.
There are several other games out there that use mushClient as their
base, but I know that the package for Stellar Aeon is both updated and
able to handle other worlds.

Hi John.
Ah Mush client. I have heard of that. And that version really works with
any mud?
And what are the plugins for? Isn't the mush client built like one edit
box for input and when tabbing once you land in the output window or
something like that?
That is, what i am used too because i have been using vipmud by GMA
games but i think this software is no longer supported.
Best regards
Daniel.

The client is Mush Client, and it is fully accessible with a couple of
plugins.
I would actually recommend installing the package for stellar aeon:
https://stellaraeon.com
as that's a lot better suited to working with other worlds.
The plugins you want are output_functions and MushReader, both of which
are included. You can also just use that copy of mushClient to connect
to any world you wish.

Then the accessible client I've seen in use would be MushZ. Although
there are others. Even if you don't play Alter Aeon, their web site has
a section called Blind Player Support which lists several accessible
clients for Windows. And Macs too, if I recall correctly. Site:

Hello all. The subject sais it all. Is there a good and
accessible mud client, where i can emediately hear the answer
from the game and also a quick way to access the output panel to
view the messages if there is a lot of scroll? Any hint is
apreciated. Kind Regards Daniel
