Hi Worik,
Jeanette is our resident expert on accessibility in music
production software. Perhaps she'll weigh in.
Ecasignalview, a utility which comes with ecasound, provides
a bar that indicates sound levels. You would use it during a
sound check before recording.
A batch utility that detects max-level samples in a recorded
clip would also serve.
I doubt a screen reader or braille display would be able
to make use of the dynamic display of the ecasignalview
solution.
Have fun (and no overs)

I am working on a recorder that priorities simple keyboard control, it has very little
gui. This is what I need, but one important use is for people who cannot look at a gui
(me, I cannot be bothered, I find GUI displays usually very distracting, and at best
inconvenient)
I do want to have peak indicator, a warning if the level is too high and data loss is
occurring.
This is a new journey for me, and some concepts might be a bit fuzzy in my head, forgive
me.
How can I have a warnings in my software that will play nice with accessibility software?
Should I output lines on stdout that screen readers can process and then do whatever they
are configured for?
I want to get this right from the very start. I though this might be a good place to ask
I am sorry if this is a bit off topic for Linux audio
