[Athen] Grammarly with a screen reader?

[Lisa Brandt]

We met with Grammarly a couple of months ago for a demo. When we informed
them that the product does not meet our requirements for accessibility, the
answer was just "thanks for letting me know" and an offer of a discount for
students who want to purchase an individual license. No "we're working on
it" or "I'll take that back to my team." So I don't think anything has
changed.
