I have a uke and would like to learn this instrument.
I need descriptions of chords, but cannot read chord diagrams, seeing that I am completely blind.
I am really into learning this instrument, but I have yet to find an app that actually lets me learn.
So I cannot use diagrams, wich means that I will need descriptions, rather than tabs. I am looking for playing chords.

Not an app, but NLS
Hi,
I know you were asking for an app, but have you considered the Library of Congress? I know if you live in the United States that is an option. They got a good amount of music learning material. I've been checking out things to improve on my guitar skills. As far as accessible apps go for learning any musical instruments. You may be lucky and find a tuner app, but that's about it.
For your convenience. the library of Congress phone number is
1-800-424-8567
Hope that this helps.

Not in united states
I am not in the united states. I am in Sweden but will checck with my library if there is such a book about the ukulele.
Ukulele Instructions
You can find on NLSBARD in the music section Ukulele Instructions by Bill Brown. I have used some of his material and they are easy to follow. It is hard to find any chord charts for Ukulele.
You can still access Bill
You can still access Bill Brown's instructional material if you are not a member of NLS. His material isn't free directly from his web site, but you can check out what he has to offer by visiting https://www.musicvi.com
Accessible Chords Online
Late to the party here, but there are accessible versions of ukulele chords in a screenreader-friendly format at https://www.standardguitar.com/accessible-ukulele-chords
There are also guitar, banjo and mandolin chords available as well.
Music for the Blind
Bill Brown, Music for the Blind has a lot of learning by ear and his material is available through BARD if you are in the United States. Whatever is available from BARD by Bill Brown can also be gought from his website by the same name.
