Claude Code now has a screen reader mode.
Running `claude --ax-screen-reader` swaps the visual terminal UI for plain, linear text that screen readers (like VoiceOver and NVDA) can follow.

It also adds labeled lines (you:, claude:, tool:), numbered menus you answer with a digit, and a bell when Claude needs you.
You can keep it on by adding "axScreenReader": true to ~/.claude/settings.json, or by setting the CLAUDE_AX_SCREEN_READER=1 environment variable.
