Description
The UI is currently not accessible with screen readers like Narrator or NVDA, could this please be looked into. I am not sure if this app works with keyboard alone for stuf like the alt menu and similar, as no speech via screen reader.

Research direction
Start by auditing the UI's keyboard-only behavior and screen-reader output with Narrator or NVDA, including the alt menu. Review the existing work in pull requests #4677 and #4761 before proceeding; done would require an agreed scope and accessible behavior across the affected UI.
