"AccessApps consists of over 50 Open Source and
freeware assistive technology applications which can be entirely
used from a USB stick on a Windows computer. AccessApps will run
without needing to install anything and provides a range of
e-learning solutions to support writing, reading and planning, as
well as visual and mobility restrictions. Last autumn, I was
honoured to take part in the judging for the Scottish Open Source
Software Awards 2008 and was equally delighted when AccessApps won
the top award for the educational sector.
"Apart from the excellence of their product, what really struck
the judges was the high level of free support offered by the
AccessApp team. You will rarely find a more comprehensive, well
thought-out approach to a project of any kind, Open Source or
proprietary. A series of short, informative screencasts talk new
users through what AccessApps is and does, how to obtain the
packages and what to do with them once you have got them. Here's a
link to those screencasts - check them out for yourselves and if
you're not impressed, I'll be amazed."
