So I'm wondering what would be a good newsreader for a blind user. I'm
currently using betterbird for text posts as well as tin. I would like a
more gui experience but pan and Sylthfeed will not allow Orca to read
the message window. I can list and post with Sylthfeed and pan but just
not read. Any advice would be great. And I would kind of like a more
dedicated newsgroup client.

Brian Gaff is a blind user in the UK technical groups, he's quite
clued up. I'll crosspost this to uk.tech.broadcast; I saw him in
there a couple of days ago. I'll add "Ping Brian Gaff" to the
Subject line. HTH
