Description
Hello!
Pandoc is very useful for blind people, since it generates accessible documents using HTML, docx, epub output, among others, excluding PDF.
This application has a very big potential, especially for those who do not handle the command line. However, the editor is not accessible with screen readers. All the rest, including the buttons and the menu bar reads very well, since everything is correctly labeled.
To fix this I suggest using the Monaco Editor, which provides many accessibility options.
thanks!

Research direction
Start by examining Panwriter’s current editor implementation and compare its screen-reader behavior with the accessibility options documented by Monaco Editor. Verify that the editor is usable with screen readers while preserving the existing Markdown editing workflow and the already accessible buttons and menu bar.
