alternate native UI

Igor | Last updated: Apr 21, 2016 01:15AM UTC

Hi all, I am a visually impaired Burp user who unfortunately, cannot use Burp itself due to the native UI being completely unusable with screen readers. Therefore, I only have one remaining usability option; interact with the API via a Python console (assuming I can execute Jython from a terminal (which afaik is possible), and write scripts/interact with the interpreter directly to perform requisite functions. Alternatively, if all of Burp's native GUI functionality were exposed in the web UI, it may solve for the usability problem. I'm sure there are others that would appreciate something like this as well, given that no accessible equivalent alternatives seem to exist. Thanks.

We understand the limitations of Burp's current UI for visually impaired users. It is in our long-term roadmap to provide an edition of Burp that will be entirely accessed through a web interface, though this will not include all of the manual testing tools that the desktop edition of Burp provides. We don't currently have a firm ETA for the new edition.

I too not able to use burpsuite using a screen reader. on Linux I am not able to use at all. on windows some how could listen its menus atleast. I tried free version. atleast commandline options seems to be good if developing gui takes long time. I also searched burpsuite manual also but usage through gui was described.
