Did you ever try using a screen reader on it yet?
Is the problem that you still can't select the text from the html page?
I'm not sure, but I think I found the section of the CSS Tricks article you're using, which you need the most. It's about halfway down the page (a little less) called "Complex images - An Accessible Graph".
#1 - "Setting up the file" starts with ordering the layers. You only have one layer, so it might be that you need to make some more? It also mentions optimization (among several other things). It recommends using a particular tool. However, Inkscape has some optimization features as well. You'll just have to sort through it and figure out what you need.
It mentions something about using the keyboard to guide the screenreader through the webpage. So it sounds like you'll need some idea how screen readers work.
#2 - "Let's make it accessible" sounds like your pot of gold! But I wouldn't skip #1.
You'll have to plow through it all yourself. I didn't look past that point, but you probably should.
All best, brynn

I replied but the mail server rejected the message because it had a zip attachment. Here's a link to the zip archive on my Mediafire account :

If I understand you correctly, you already have this text visible on
the picture and able to be selected (how?).
The text in the accessibility modified file is visible, but it's not selectable.
Once you can select it, copy it from the SVG and paste it into a window whose job it is to feed
text into a text-to-speech program.
The original, "non-accessible" file, has selectable text, but only via a CTRL-A, a CTRL-C and a CTRL-V. But its text is quite ugly and garbled when pasted.
I've tested the original, "non-accessible" SVG file with JAWS and it reads the file pretty decently, but it doesn't even read *anything* from the "accessible" SVG file.
I'll attached the original SVG, the screen reader accessible SVG that I attempted to create and the "diff -Nau" between the two files. Any help would be appreciated.
