Software you can actually use without looking at it. Broadcast, audio and learning tools, built for screen reader users from the start.
Most software is built to be looked at. When you cannot see it, it does not get harder to use, it stops working.
I am a blind musician. Everything here is keyboard-first and screen-reader-first from the start, not an accessibility pass bolted on at the end.
Out now
TG Imprint
A free PDF creator that writes PDFs a screen reader can actually read. Headings that are headings, lists that are lists, a description on every picture, and an accessibility check on your own file before you send it. If you cannot see the picture you are describing, Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini will draft one on your own key, for you to check and change.
It fills in PDF forms too, from a list rather than a page, and it can add fields to the ones that arrive with none, which is most of what a hospital or a council sends.
In open beta. Free, MIT licensed, Windows.
TG Drop Deck
Broadcast software for radio, podcasting, DJing and live streaming, run entirely from the keyboard. Eighty sounds on the number row, a two deck playlist with real crossfades, microphone processing, and a stream that goes out to your own station or to YouTube, Facebook and Restream.
The video side is built the same way as the rest: you choose the picture, put your station name and what is playing on top of it, set your own colours by name, and have the whole thing described back to you before you go on air.
Forty sounds are included, so it makes a noise the first time you open it.
In open beta while people test it and write in. Free and MIT licensed now and after, and a Linux build is being talked about.
NVDA Coach
Screen reader training inside the screen reader, 45 lessons across six chapters, in eight languages. Free, and in the NVDA Add-on Store.
Covered by RNIB Tech Talk, Double Tap, Blind Abilities and The Blind Life.
The Prompt Vault, new
502 AI prompts in your system tray. Arrow to one, fill in the blanks, copy it, paste it into ChatGPT or Claude. No more digging through a pile of Word documents.
The blanks are labelled edit fields, not square brackets buried in a paragraph. Edit any prompt to suit how you work, and put it back with one keystroke. The library keeps growing on its own.
Idea by Matthew J.
TG Spaces
A convolution reverb with 190 places in it, and controls a blind engineer can read. Windows and macOS, VST3 and Audio Unit.
None of the rooms were recorded. They are built from a model of the acoustics, so a bigger room really is bigger. Every control speaks in metres and plain words.
Free for anything, commercial work included. No attribution, no key, no sign-up.
American Explorer
Fifty states, the District of Columbia and five US territories, read aloud, with a quiz and a comparison tool. A geography lesson you can take with the screen off.
It speaks through your screen reader if you run one, and through the Windows voice if you do not. It works that out for itself, so it is talking the moment it opens.
Free for home, classroom and library use, with no seats to count.
Coming
TG Model Master, an accessible guitar and bass amp and cabinet modeller. Seventeen amps, ten cabinets, 100 presets. More
