 I'm a blind Web developer and have a very difficult time using the
 Wordpress editor. When I am on the main editing pane, the screen reader
 does not read the contents of my text, nor does it stay in one place.
 Every time I do a carriage return, my cursor jumps to the top of the page
 --very frustrating. It also will not read anything but, "Blank line." Also
 frustrating.

 I need to create the page in another program and paste the code into
 Wordpress, but that also creates an issue when I need to edit a page.

 Maybe there is something I am missing to make the editor more accessible?
