An accessibility mod for Hearthstone

In case you didn't already know, an accessibility mod was recently released for Blizard's Hearthstone, a stratigy card battle game.
On its own, Hearthstone is inaccessible, being mainly mouse driven and lacking any kind of TTS or screen reader support. This accessibility mod, made by guide_dev, adds keyboard commands, screen reader support and in-game speech to make the game playable to those who are blind.
To download and install Hearthstone, you need both a battle.net account and the free battle.net Windows client.
You can learn about the mod, as well as Hearthstone itself, by visiting https://hearthstoneaccess.github.io/
How do you reboot your computing machine? You put your feet through the computer screen!

Indeed it's a great mod. Some stuff can be accessed only with golden cursor though. Anyone who has a resolution of 1920x1080, I'm attaching a gc file which is made by Lirin from the audiogames forum and partly by me and my sister. The addon lets you navigate those things which aren't yet implemented in the mod.

Όταν θα κοιτάς την θάλασσα
Χωρίς να το θέλεις, θα βλέπεις εμένα
Και τα μάτια σου θα ‘ναι θλιμμένα
Όταν θα ξυπνάς στον ύπνο σου
Χωρίς να το θέλεις, θα σκέφτεσαι εμένα
Και θα νιώθεις μεγάλο κενό

I might do a quick recording of the first steps for hs, although I don't have much time nowadays.

Yes.
I would highly appreciate a quick recording of how to setup everything.

i have some crappy problem in that game. So now it stopped working, and i don't know what to do with it. After it launches it says loding game, loads, and then when i click on solo adventures and go to start game, it starts clicking, and then starts being a laggy dumpster, after that it says faidel error screen, close, your game has been saved, please launch hearthstone again to continu whereyou left off. Relunching doesn't fix anything. Thanks for listening, and hope i can fix this crapster

Is the .gc file the most new one or does one have a newer version available to upload here?

Dragma13: you need to patch the game again using the hearthstone access patcher.
Tschapajev, I'm attaching the most recent gc file which has everything in it.

Just a quick note, the first version of the deck builder has been released in a new patch.
