Great set of tools. Thanks for the heads up. I find the UI choices for both the main app and the tools (I'ved used so far) rather challenging. I need dark mode. While they all have the option to select a theme, their implemetation of dark mode is annoying to the point of significantly unusable. Despite the text being the wonderful white text on black background the "unused" space is displayed in bright white which tends to really be painful for me. Also, shortcut Guide's display totally unusable (selecting the Dark theme). All of the special characters are in a cyan box with white text. Totally unreadable for me. I don't know if there is a way tto customize that. I couldn't find a way.

would you consider doing a review of the tools for windows tablets in Tablet Pro STUDIO? They are unique tools like powertoys tools that you can't find anywhere else. Makes for interesting content and makes using desktop apps much much easier with pen and touch. comparable to keyboard and mouse speeds. Thank you Sam

There is a few tools like pinch to zoom for the entire OS and voice commands that let you send custom hotkeys with your voice or text expansion with your voice. Lots of other benefits for vision impaired people

How about combining Microsoft power tools with (voice attack) ?

[@muleman1701]

Just those mouse tools alone make this worth downloading..

[@theblindlife]

Absolutely! Plus it’s free so it’s a win-win situation!

[@davidhartline9172]

This is really cool. One of the great features of ZoomText is the mouse crosshairs. I’m glad you can get to that feature on Windows. Is there a way to get power tools on a non networked computer?

[@theblindlife]

That’s definitely a question for someone at Microsoft.

[@faisal-pj2ei]

I have a question Sam. Which is better for accessibility Mac or Windows?

[@theblindlife]

The short answer is both. The long answer is a bit more tricky. They both have great accessibility, and which ever one you use, you will be successful at using. you really almost have to look at other aspects to decide. If you have an iPhone, then you want to get a Mac so that everything will work smoothly together. If you’re on a budget, then you want to get a PC because it’s much more affordable. when it comes to a head to head comparison of accessibility features, they are honestly very similar. Definitely too close to Bass It only on that.

@@theblindlife thank you so much for your reply Sam. I

Whenever I try to remap the left windows button to be right alt, it won't work. How do I fix this?

[@theblindlife]

That would be a question for Microsoft.
