Thanks for pointing this out. I'm visually impaired but don't tend to need a screen reader that often. But the times I do want/need to use one, I inevitably find things that are just awful. For fun, I tried turning on TalkBack on my phone and this demo site was completely inaccessible (TalkBack didn't pick up anything other than the archive.org controls). Maybe part of that is it being on archive.org, but I suspect it's due to the lack of any real HTML.

Here's a direct link without the frame stuff if you want to try that:

I'm curious how Talkback/Narrator handles this same content, but as a standard text file. I suspect it's still bad, but something about the weird HTML shenanigans being played might be messing up the screen readers.
Do you have a way of uploading the page to gpt4? Perhaps it can annotate the contents for you by looking at the visuals.
