Thank you – I wasn’t aware of the protocol, but it has now attracted my interest.
I did try Linphone. There are unlabeled buttons, and field labels in the account configuration dialogue that are not associated with their controls. I managed to set up an account; making a call is harder, as it isn’t clear which button to activate.
I plan to look at Matrix as well.

Subject: Re: [orca-list] Best application for making and receiving SIP (VoIP) calls?
Hello,
Matrix is a general messenger style protocol similar to XMPP but with certain things done differently. Core principle is still federation similar to XMPP or traditional email that encourages decentralization i.e. running as many servers as possible.
One of its core features is that it encourages bridging into various other networks, however SIP bridge is not available at the moment.
Most advanced is an IRC bridge, XMPP bridge is in very active development, there is awesome telegram bridge, discord bridge. There are even more however I don't know how well these are developed including whatsapp bridge, facebook, skype, hangouts puppet style bridges and perhaps some more.
There are multiple matrix clients.
Riot web is very accessible with some little anoyances and perhaps some limitations, however I am using it for chatting and voice calling regularly.
Riot android is even better accessible.
Riot desktop is just a web app distributed as an electron app. So no a11y on linux with that so far.
There is a GTK3 based matrix client app called Fractal. It is also very accessible, however there is no way to scroll history of chats with the keyboard alone without the mouse so again
Imagine what SMTP and IMAP are for traditional emails matrix might become for instant messaging in the future. Other awesome features include native multidevice support - seeing the same message history on your desktop, on your laptop and mobile... Built-in end-to-end encryption to ensure only you and your chat partners can read the conversations. When messages are encrypted like this even server admins can't read them.
I am sure there is even more.
I apologize for adding more to the off topic discussion. I have mentioned matrix on a few occassions here on this list, so perhaps you can just delete this or regard it as a status update if you are not following on its development.
Greetings
Peter

Hello,
I'll test yate in next days. It's a cli-based tool with a client. There
is also an other complex way via Matrix. It's a general platform for
instant messenging and the web client Riot seems accessible (to test).
But you need a Matrix server to use it. (Desktop version of Riot is just
the web app embedded in a web-container, and doesn't seem accessible...)
Have a good day :)
