Hello everyone,
I've been using Lichess to play blindfolded chess and I must say it's much more advanced regarding acessibility features than chess.com - props to you guys!
However some time ago the "Speech" voice changed from male to female (without me doing anything), and the female voice in English is just messed up. Files B, E and D and messed up: sometimes the voice announces E7 but it's D7 instead, or B7 etc. It makes the game unplayable without seing the board.
Has this bug already been reported? Is it possible to switch back to the male voice (which works very fine)?
Also, here are 2 suggestions to improve blind chess accessibility (if they don't already exist):
- A command to have the voice repeat the last move
- Having the voice say outloud the keys we press (because sometimes by mistake I press CAPS lock and don't realize it).
That's it! Have a great day everyone
Please advise which browser version or app version you are using.`

I was just about to post the same thing, lost a couple of games just because of that already. I would love to return to the male voice.
how do i even activate it? does the option pop up if i select blindfold?
or are you talking about the chrome extension?
t4i guys

You can use the arrow keys to cycle through moves and it will say each one out loud. If you are already on the last move (as would be the case usually), the down or right arrow button will also just repeat the last move.
