Useful Software for Accessibility

 

You won't be as cool as a Blade Runner running these apps but at least you'll get more work done and have a funner time doing so.

PicPick

Yes, I know Windows comes with Snipping Tool but haven't you ever wanted something more powerful and easy to use? PicPick is lightweight and free with a lot more capabilities than Snipping Tool. One of my favorite features is hitting a shorcut key to retake the same screen area as before without me having to redraw the screen area every single time. This is a Windows screenshot software which I highly recommend.

IrfanView

Though the basic Windows photo viewer works fine, it is a bit clunky when it comes to simple cropping of images or resizing. IrfanView loads fast and has a host of features.




Negative Screen

NegativeScreen is a Windows application allowing you to invert your screen colors.
Apart from accessibility matters, this software is especially useful when you are surfing on the internet in a dark room, and the screen is dazzling you.

Q10

Q10 is a simple but powerful text editor designed and built with writers in mind. Even if Mark Pilgrim doesn't like full-screen editors, some of us do.

f.lux

f.lux makes your computer screen look like the room you're in, all the time. When the sun sets, it makes your computer look like your indoor lights. In the morning, it makes things look like sunlight again. It reduces eyestrain and disruption of sleep patterns.
