YouTube Player for the Blind

This is a YouTube player written in Python that is designed to be accessible for visually impaired users. The application allows users to enter a search query, select a video from the search results, and play it. Please note that the hotkeys feature is planned for future development.

Installation

To install and run the YouTube player, follow the steps below:

  1. Clone the repository to your local machine: git clone https://github.com/denizsincar29/blindtube

  2. Change directory to the cloned repository: cd blindtube

  3. Install the required dependencies using pip: pip install -r requirements.txt

Running the Application

To start the YouTube player, run the following command: python main.py

Please note that at the current time, the application may not work with Python 3.12 due to a compatibility issue with the accessible_output2 library. This library relies on the platform_utils library, which may not yet be compatible with Python 3.12. However, it should work with other versions of Python.
