Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/asciinema/asciinema/issues/320

Currently, the asciinema-player is not seen as an interactive item when using a screen reader. I've only tested with VoiceOver on the Mac, but adding tabindex="0" fixes this.

The output isn't perfect — PHPUnit 4.8.31 is read as "PHP Unit 4th August 1931" — but otherwise it makes the content of a finished cast available to screen readers (and possibly other assistive technologies) more than it does now.
