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

Keepass for managing passwords.
Ditto for managing my clipboard.
Executor for launching things.
Calcute for adding things up and otherwise being a better calculator than Windows already has.
MemPad for notetaking.
Microsip for my landline telephone number I've had for decades.
Jarte for when I occasionally need a long form editor with a spellcheck.
MUSHclient for online gaming, not that I have in years now sadly.
RedditForBlind for redditing.
tweesecake for being on Mastodon if I am not already in a browser.
I still use an old Winamp for music.
Veracrypt for accessing my encrypted volumes.

I'm primarily a Firefox, ms office, NVDA and Dropbox user.

@cachondo You use firefox? I'd love to use it but it always seems so slow with screen readers if you're playing web games or have lots of tabs open. And thanks for some of these. I hadn't heard of several of them.

I don't game online, but I do run media heavy things quite often without any obvious slowdown.
I regularly have news or radio streaming alongside ambiphone or mynoise in a background tab without issue.
