Accessibility Suggestion: VoiceOver Support for Audible Graphs (macOS)

[DO9RE]

Hello everyone,

I'm totally blind since birth and use the NanoVNA together with VoiceOver on my Mac. VoiceOver, when properly supported via the Accessibility API, is capable of sonifying drawn graphs — meaning it renders the shape of a line chart into sound, where the pitch of a tone reflects the height of the curve.

A good example of this can be experienced in the stocks app on iPhone: there, VoiceOver audibly represents stock trends by tracing the curve with varying pitch. This makes data accessible in a non-visual yet intuitive way.

I’d love to see similar support for the curves displayed in NanoVNA-Saver, so that blind users like me can access the measurement results audibly.

What do you think about adding such a feature?

Thanks and 73,
Richard, DO9RE
