Hi Karen,

Unfortunately, many websites nowadays require JavaScript, which might be not 
well-supported in text-based web browsers. I tried to open TD's login page in 
w3m, and it displays a blank page. Elinks ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
ELinks ) seem to have JavaScript support.

That said, if there are no other difficulty for you to use a GUI application, 
I would recommend using a GUI web browser like Mozilla Firefox, together with 
the Orca screen reader ( https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/orca ). I just tried 
opening td.com in Firefox and had Orca read it with no problem. At least I can 
go to the login page and submit. I do not have a TD account so I do not know 
how it would sound like after login.

Best regards,
tusooa
