Hey fellow #BlindMastodon users! I’m looking for recommendations on two types of writing tools for Windows:
- Accessible text expanders
- Word prediction software
I use both #JAWS and #NVDA screen readers. I tried Espanso (an open-source text expander), but it didn’t work well with NVDA. I also tested Lightkey for word prediction, but it didn’t seem accessible.
As an #ActuallyAutistic person, word prediction would really help with my autism-related communication challenges.
Have you found any text expanders or word prediction tools that work well with screen readers? What has your experience been like? I’d love to hear your recommendations and thoughts!

@WeirdWriter @mastoblind @main I actually thought about trying AutoHotKey, but it looked complicated. Lol I’m already learning JavaScript and I’m not sure I have the energy to learn another programming or scripting language at the same time.
@RareBird_15 @mastoblind @main You can edit espanso with their text files but I never got it to work. I just haven’t found any text replacement program that’s universal that works for the entire operating system. If anybody were to make one, I would throw money at them so quickly you could not blink fast enough. I just haven’t been able to find any solutions and I’ve been looking for years
