Hi friends,
I'm a NVDA user and I'm trying to use some IRC programs, on the one hand, AdIRC with a dll that makes it accessible, but when I try to connect to the servers that are in its list the program is constantly saying connected, connected, connected but the list of channels is not available. Another possibility is MIRC, but I tried to configure it but it's very difficult to configure because it has a lot of options and with other programs like TeamTalk or Discord it happens the same either it doesn't connect to the servers I add to its list or I can't find servers in my language like in the case of Discord.
So what do you suggest?
Thank you in advance for your answers.
Rafa.

Hi,
Below is a quote from the official R/Blind IRC thread on Reddit. I'll put a link to the page below the direct quote. Hope you find it useful.
Announcement
Some folks have asked about this in the past, but until now we didn't really have the time or resources to make this a thing. However, now I do! We're using IRC, as unlike Discord or Slack, clients that work with screen readers are widely available. And so: announcing #blind, our official chat channel. The channel is hosted by Snoonet (r/snoonet), the IRC network for Reddit. If you're on Windows, you can use Chatzilla, mIRC, or Miranda as good accessible chat options. On Iphone, try Mutter, or on OS X, try Adium. The server you want is irc.snoonet.org. on port 6667, or port 6697 for SSL. Low vision or sighted users might also want to check out the web chat. A more detailed guide is also available from snoonet. If you have trouble, feel free to ask in the comments. Come chat with us!
