Text to speech: Text to speech is a software made by Microsoft for better understanding of the people who has eye sight problem. It was mainly made for the people who's eye sight is weak or the people who can't see. It generally converts text into spoken language. Usually the software comes with operating system for people to access computer easily. All the words are prerecorded in the software. So whenever it gets any text to convert, it plays from the prerecorded voices.

Virtual Keyboard: It is a software used instead of a keyboard which can do all the works on a regular keyboard. It is usually a on screen keyboard operated by the user. People use this software if they are having problem with their keyboard. Generally this software is included in the operating system but there are other softwares which has extended options in it.

Image Magnifier: Image magnifier is a software for people who has weak eye sight. The software makes the screen bigger where the mouse is inverted. It generally increases the resolution using printing and optics technology for better details in the file. Different size can be selected from the software. Windows or Microsoft usually has its own software pre-installed in the operating system. People with disabilities can find this software very useful and it is easy to access.
