Speaking Access
Voice control for Windows — built for blind and low-vision users, dyslexic users, and hands-free use.
A Message From the Developer
My name is Christopher Mutch, and I am the developer of Speaking Access, a fully voice-driven Windows program designed to be used with a microphone headset. Originally designed for blind users, it very quickly became apparent that it could also serve people with low vision, dyslexic users, and anyone who experiences pain using a keyboard or finds text-heavy menus overwhelming. Speaking Access allows users to control most of their Windows computer through natural voice commands, making technology more accessible and less frustrating — especially for users adapting to vision changes.
How Speaking Access May Support Your Learners

Speaking Access was designed to help users stay independent, reduce frustration, and navigate their computers with confidence. After more than 50,000 lines of code, five years, and over 4,000 hours of development, I’ve put in the work to serve users at an affordable price meant to be accessible. If you like the program, please help by sharing it. Thank you very much.
