There is an [accessible starter project](https://gitlab.com/lightsoutgames/godot-accessible-starter) that does most of this for you, and sets up a basic project with an in-game screen reader and editor accessibility. But here are the steps from an empty Godot project:
1. Place this repository in a directory named _addons/godot-accessibility_ inside your project. This plugins root directory should be reachable at the Godot path _res://addons/godot-accessibility_.
2. Download the [latest release of the Godot TTS plugin](https://gitlab.com/lightsoutgames/godot-tts/-/jobs/artifacts/master/download?job=publish) and place its files in _addons/godot-tts_. When complete, you should have paths like _addons/godot-tts/TTS.gd_.
2. Download the [latest release of the Godot TTS addon](https://gitlab.com/lightsoutgames/godot-tts/-/jobs/artifacts/master/download?job=publish) and place its files in _addons/godot-tts_. When complete, you should have paths like _addons/godot-tts/TTS.gd_.
3. Enable the Godot Accessibility plugin from the editor UI. Or, if you have a _project.godot_ file, ensure that you have a section like:
```
[editor_plugins]

This file shouldn't be checked into version control, so add it to your ignore patterns.
5. Optionally, set up Android TTS. After performing [Android export setup](https://docs.godotengine.org/en/3.1/getting_started/workflow/export/exporting_for_android.html) and downloading templates, click _Project -> Install Android Build Template_. Copy, or link, _addons/godot-tts/android_ to _android/godot-tts_.

Copy, or link, _addons/godot-tts/android_ to _android/godot-tts_.
6. Launch your project in the editor by running `godot -e` in the top-level directory. Or, to launch the game normally, simply run `godot`.

One promising area of exploration is Godot 3.2's ability to disable editor features. Audio-only games might get away with disabling 3-D and other views, thus at least minimizing tab fatigue. But that feature crashed when I last attempted it (3.2 alphas) and I haven't tried again.
You can also arrow around the UI, though arrow navigation isn't quite as deterministic as tab/shift-tab navigation.
### How do I bind an action to a key?
This is a fun one. First, the controls to do this need to be accessed in a non-standard way. Then, you've got a non-discoverable dialog. But here's the process:

2. In the submenu, click Project Settings.
3. Tab until you reach the tab list.
4. Arrow right to Input Map.

5. Here you can either create a new bindable action by typing a name into the text field, or tab to the tree and select an existing action to bind a new key/controller button to.
6. When in the tree, you'll need to access controls for the individual items. Godot is a bit odd in how it associates controls with tree items. Sometimes they're context menus. Others, as here, they're a horizontal row of buttons in one of the tree row cells. To access these, select an action, arrow right twice, and use Home/End to switch between individual buttons on each row. There should be an _Add_ button of some sort. Select it and press _Space_ or _enter_.
7. You then land on a popup menu allowing you to bind a key, joystick button, etc. Arrow to _Key_ and press _Enter_.
8. If you select the option to add a key to an action, focus lands in a dialog. You won't get any speech for this. I think you're supposed to do this by pressing the desired key, then clicking a Close button. Naturally, for us this would bind everything to _Space_ or _enter_. Instead, the addon closes the dialog automatically after five seconds, so press your desired key or combination and wait. Pressing a second key or combination clears the first, so if you make a mistake, just press the correct key combination. You won't get speech feedback until the dialog closes.
