I have qt5 and qtatspi installed.

qt5 (a multi-platform C++ graphical user interface toolkit)
qtatspi [Installed]: qtatspi (Qt AT-SPI2 bridge.) QT Accessibility
Bridge to SPI2. At-Spi2 is a protocol over DBus, toolkit widgets use
it to provide their content to screen readers such as Orca.

I am using Slint Slackware 14 with orca 41.1 running and CHIRP is
inaccessible to blind users as ORCA doesn't read the screen.

I highly recommend SLINT which is International (supports lots of
languages and is highly accessible with multiple console screen
readers and text applications already installed and more are
available. https://slint.fr/wiki/doku.php?id=:en:start
