Shaf Patel ([email protected]) reported me that Wireshark is completely
inaccessible for blind and low-vision users through screen readers or any other
utility.

On macOS, the accessibility utility Voice Over doesn't work, not sure if
there's the equivalent on Windows.

Third party apps/screen readers such as NVDA (http://nvda-project.org) don't
work neither on Windows.

Shaf is willing to help, don't hesitate to contact him.
