I have seen this that may be helpful: 
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/lkcr/docs/accessibility/chromevox_on_desktop_linux.md

However it seems that this needs the build tools ninja, not shipped in
Slint so far.

I am CCing Eric Hameleers aka AlienBoB, If he would like to provide a
Chromium package with Chromevox enabled (if actually feasible) for
Slackware64-14.2, then it would be usable on Slint too.

Greetings,

Didier
