I’m curious to hear from fellow blind users about your favorite accessible Windows apps! I just reinstalled Windows and would love some recommendations. What apps do you find essential for daily tasks, productivity, or just for fun? Please share your favorites! #Blind #VisuallyImpaired #Accessibility #WindowsApps #AssistiveTechnology #Windows
@RareBird15 @mastoblind @main I mostly use the Microsoft products, Outlook, Ege, Word, Excel and To Do, One Note, One Drive. I also use Bit Warden for a password manager.
@RareBird15 @main Thanks for raising this, I think it’s going to be an interesting thread. Here are a few of my favourites. I don’t use all of these every day, of course, but they’re some of what I make sure I install whenever I settle in on a computer. Links provided when not obvious. Also, these aren’t all perfect, whether in accessibility or anything else, they’re just the ones I use and like.
Jarte for quick notes www.jarte.com
Sonobus for audio transmission www.sonobus.net
Thunderbird, betterbird, firefox, and chromium.
SharpKeys for keyboard remapping https://github.com/randyrants/sharpkeys
Vmware Workstation for running other operating systems www.vmware.com
