Accessibility features for the blind in path of exile two

Hi. I am a completely blind person and I have a lot of interest in playing path of exile two
unfortunately due to the lack of any accessibility features for the blind such as a screen reader or audio navigation assist this is currently impossible.
I’m writing this to ask if it would be possible to add these features to the game any time soon? either when it’s in early access or when it comes out of early access, just any time in the future, will any blind accessibility features be added to POE2?
Action RPG‘s are a genre i’m interested in, currently the only game in this genre that can be played by blind people is Diablo IV, and I really hope that can change
How a screen reader would work, so a screen reader is something that reads aloud text on screen, for a game. This would be, menus, enemies and enemy types, names of towns, items that you can interact with, for example MPC’s and similar things.
Audio navigation assist usually is in some games like the last of us and God of War Ragnarok it’s simply something that turns the camera towards your next objective , in Diablo IV and gears five for example, it plays directional audio cues that you have to follow to get to your Objective on the map

I am pretty sure poe1 can be played blind; that seems to be how most people even blessed with sight play.
I've gotten web pages screen-reader-ready, but I've having a hard time understanding what functionality you would want to be made accessible. Do you mean navigating in towns, or decorating hideouts? Those are doable, though GGG may not have the in-hopuse skills for it, and might need to hire an a11y consultant. If you mean combat, that's hard for me to wrap my head around.

I guess what I'm saying is that you need a crystal clear ask, that GGG can see as a first step they can take.
