The vOICe Learning Edition 1.63

The vOICe seeing-with-sound software translates images from a PC camera (webcam) into sounds that you hear via your stereo headphones, thus targetting sensory substitution applications for the totally blind, and even synthetic vision. Some blind people wear it daily with a wearable setup to "see" their environment as they go around, while other blind people (blind from birth) use it to experience for the very first time what vision is like.

Direct Access 1.0.5.1

Define meaningful words as global commands for repetitive tasks: open applications, folders, and websites; compose emails; and insert autotext. Use them across all applications without taking your fingers off the keyboard, and without being pestered by misfires. They're easier to remember than key combinations, faster than the mouse. You can even set up custom menus, for example grouping standard tech support answers or signatures.
