EraAccess
EraAccess is a free, fully accessible virtual instrument for blind musicians. It loads libraries of vintage instruments — workstations, synthesisers and classic keyboards — and plays up to four of them at once, layered or split across the keyboard. Each slot has its own key and velocity range, transposition, polyphony, per-voice envelope and filter, volume, pan, mute and solo. Five effect chains, one per slot plus a master chain, offer EQ, compressor, filter, chorus, flanger, phaser, tremolo, tempo-synced stereo delay and reverb, in series or parallel. Everything is driven from the keyboard and spoken in plain terms, with full braille context and contextual help. The plugin is free; only the instrument libraries are paid, each with a 30-day trial. Runs as a standalone app and as a VST3 on Windows.

HammondAccess
HammondAccess puts the Hammond B3 organ and its Leslie speaker in your hands, entirely from the keyboard, with a screen reader and a Braille display. Every drawbar, every switch and every setting is spoken and shown in Braille: you shape your sound by ear, without ever looking for a button on the screen. As on a real B3, you get all 38 drawbars: two sets of nine on each manual and the two pedal drawbars. The twelve preset keys of each manual call up Hammond's factory registrations or switch between the two drawbar sets, and you play them straight from your MIDI keyboard. Percussion, vibrato and chorus, the tube amplifier's overdrive, reverb and the expression pedal are all there, with the Leslie cabinet, its horn and drum speeding up and slowing down like the real thing. 78 factory registrations are ready to play: sounds of famous organists and songs, classic jazz, gospel and blues settings, theatre organ, pedals, and even the percussion alone. Your own sounds are kept in your own folders. To go further, some fifty fine settings let you voice the organ like a technician: tuning, tonewheel shape, key click, Leslie speeds and microphones. Play from a single keyboard with the keyboard split, or connect two keyboards and a pedalboard, each on its own manual: since REAPER 7.81, each manual and the pedals can be assigned to their own MIDI controller, on a single track, live and when recording. Drawbar controllers work right away, and any knob can be learned in one move. In REAPER, everything can be automated and undone like the rest of your project. HammondAccess comes as a VST3 for REAPER and as a standalone application, on Windows, with an accessible manual in English and French.

SFZ2Access
SFZ2Access is a free, fully accessible instrument player for the SFZ and SF2 (SoundFont) formats, available as a VST3 plugin and as a standalone application. Designed from the outset for blind and visually impaired musicians, it is driven entirely from the keyboard with screen readers and Braille displays: seven tabs, an Explorer-style library browser, and savable user presets with folders. It plays up to four instruments at once: each slot has its own key and velocity range, transpose, polyphony, envelope, filter, vibrato and four insert effects (chorus, flanger, phaser, tremolo, delay, reverb, compressor, distortion). The number of keyswitches is announced as soon as you select a preset, and articulations are spoken out loud as you play. It ships with a large free factory library of over 1200 presets, installable by category, and also loads your own SFZ and SF2 files, with global reference pitch and Scala microtuning. Free, for Windows.

SamplerAccess
SamplerAccess is a professional sampler available as a VST3 plugin and a standalone application, designed from the ground up to be fully usable by blind and visually impaired musicians via screen readers and Braille displays. It features a custom-written transpose and time-stretch engine that fully decouples pitch and speed, a structure organised into slots, layers and samples, and two playback modes. Every control is keyboard-driven and announced. A 30-day free trial is included.

SingerAccess
SingerAccess is a virtual singer for REAPER. You write a melody in MIDI, you type its lyrics, and SingerAccess sings them, exactly on your notes and in time with your project, in French or in English. You choose a male or female voice by listening to it, then adjust its colour, its vibrato, its breaths and its transpose. Everything is done from the keyboard, with your screen reader and Braille display: the list of your items tells, for each one, its lyrics, its takes and whether the voice is ready. Lyrics are written like plain text, one line per phrase, with simple signs to hold a note, breathe, split a word or force a sound. Every sung version is a take you keep or delete: you can have the whole item or a single phrase sung again, go back to an earlier take and compare. A guide synth plays the exact notes along with the voice, so you hear at once whether it follows the melody, and it answers your MIDI keyboard so you can record the melody with its sound. When the singing sounds right, one command prints it to an audio file on a voice track, ready to mix. Thirty-three voices are included, in French and in English, in two packages to install from the Manager after the plugin, both included in the price: an update of the plugin then downloads only a few megabytes. The plugin works in REAPER, on Windows.

VocalAccess
VocalAccess is the first vocal pitch editor that is fully accessible to screen readers and braille displays, entirely keyboard driven. Load a vocal take: it detects the sung notes, lets you audition them one by one, and you correct pitch, vibrato, drift, formant, timing, transitions, fades, sibilants and dynamics, note by note or across the whole take. Includes Correct Pitch, Auto Volume, note leveling, key and scale, unlimited undo, REAPER integration and a standalone app with full-precision WAV export. Runs as a VST3 and standalone on Windows. Free 30-day trial.

AudioLooperAccess
AudioLooperAccess is a fully accessible live or studio looper: it records what you play, plays it back as a loop, and lets you layer more while you play. Up to 16 mono/stereo loops, each with its own volume, pan and state, are driven from the keyboard or from a MIDI pedalboard. Every command, every setting and every announcement is designed first for screen readers and Braille displays: the looper always tells you what it is doing, so you never have to guess. Record, overdub, multiply, insert, replace, reverse, mute, solo, undo layer by layer: each is one key, or one stomp. A tempo grid with a metronome keeps your loops in time, whether it comes from the built-in tempo, your drum machine or REAPER. Thirteen click sound sets are included. Every command and every setting can be learned on a footswitch, a knob or an expression pedal. A single note can recall one loop or several in solo. In REAPER, the looper reads your pedalboard directly, even when the track receives the audio of your instrument, Program Change and MIDI clock included. Your loops are kept in the project and in track templates, and can also be saved as complete sessions, recalled in an instant. The looper comes as a VST3 plugin and as a standalone application, on Windows, with an accessible manual in English and French.

SplitterAccessPro
SplitterAccessPro separates any recording into distinct tracks. The models are installed separately, and you need at least one pack of them before you can separate anything. All seven model packs are included in the price: there is nothing more to pay, and you are free to install whichever you want, whenever you want, one of them or all seven. They are downloaded from the ReaperAccessible Manager, grouped by use so that you only take what serves you: start with "SplitterAccessPro Models - Vocals and instrumental", which is enough to split vocals from the instrumental. From a song it pulls the vocals on one side and the instrumental on the other, or six tracks: bass, drums, guitar, piano, vocals and the rest. It goes further when you need it: the parts of the drum kit one by one, the lead vocal on one side and everything else on the other, backing vocals included, a male voice and a female voice, the strings, or one of the forty instruments it knows, from saxophone to violin. It also cleans up what gets in the way: reverb, echo and delay, chorus and doubling on a vocal, background noise, the crowd at a concert, breaths, and the bleed of one instrument into another's microphone. Everything is driven from the keyboard, with a screen reader and a Braille display. In REAPER you pick an item, press one key, and the separated tracks come back into your project, tidied under a folder track, at the right place and the right length; a single undo takes it all back. The standalone application keeps your imported files on one side and the separated tracks on the other, each with its own mute, solo and volume, so you can compare and choose by ear. No audio ever leaves your computer: every separation is computed on your own machine. The models are installed separately: all seven packs are included in the price, and you install whichever you want, whenever you want.

SplitterAccessLight
SplitterAccessLight separates any song into independent tracks directly within REAPER: vocals, drums, bass, guitar, piano, instrumental. One action, one dialogue, and the tracks appear in your project. Fully accessible to screen readers. Everything is built-in: no additional installation, no uploading your files to the internet.

TempoDetectorAccess
TempoDetectorAccess finds the tempo and the bars of a song and writes them into REAPER for you. Import an audio item, let the plugin analyse it, and you get the full list of bars: their tempo, their number of beats, their position. Everything is read and corrected from the keyboard, with a screen reader and a Braille display, without ever looking at a waveform. The detection uses a neural network trained on real music, the kind that breathes and speeds up. Three models are included: work with their average, which is the safer choice, or pick the one that suits your song best. When a bar is wrong, you fix it by ear: detect a selection again, double or halve the tempo, set the number of beats, mark a zone between two points, move a single beat by one millisecond. A metronome plays your own click sounds, follows REAPER's playback, and keeps its level when you lower the track. When the result is right, one command writes the tempo map into the project: your metronome, your grid and your quantise finally land on the music. The result can also be exported as a click track, a MIDI file or a text list. The plugin comes as a VST3 for REAPER and as a standalone application, on Windows.

TunerAccess
TunerAccess is an accessible chromatic tuner for guitar and bass, designed primarily for blind musicians. Where other tuners rely on a needle or a green LED, TunerAccess speaks out the note and the cents, and can play a continuous reference tone for as long as you are in tune. It supports 6- and 7-string guitar and 4-, 5- and 6-string bass, with Standard, Drop, Open and DADGAD tunings, one semitone down and one tone down, plus a free chromatic mode. Runs as a standalone app and as a VST3 on Windows.

MediaAccess
MediaAccess is an all-in-one audio and video player for Windows, designed from day one to be driven entirely from the keyboard by blind and visually impaired users: it works with NVDA and JAWS, auto-detected and with no configuration. A single lightweight app brings together local file playback (over 25 audio formats and every common video format, with subtitles and multi-language tracks), internet radio (RadioBrowser, TuneIn, iHeartRadio), podcasts (OPML subscriptions and Podcast 2.0 chapters), built-in YouTube search and playback, audio-output recording with a scheduler, and a DAISY 2.02/3 and EPUB book reader with text-to-speech. It all comes with a real-time professional effects chain — tempo, pitch, reverb, equalizer, compressor, center-channel removal for karaoke, binaural 3D audio — driven by a dual keyboard-cursor concept that separates "what to adjust" from "by how much". Completely free and open source (GPL-3.0), fully self-contained (no third-party components to install) and bilingual English/French.

- Your download list is easy to browse: the Up and Down arrows move from one torrent to the next, the Left and Right arrows read each detail (size, progress, speed, time left…), and the value stays on your braille display.
- Simple shortcuts to reach everything: Ctrl+1 to Ctrl+5 for your lists (all, downloading, completed, seeding, errors), Ctrl+6, 7 and 8 for search, RSS feeds and the log, F6 to move from one area to the next. Ctrl+Shift+H shows the list of all shortcuts.
- Adding a download is quick: Ctrl+O for a torrent file, Ctrl+Shift+O to paste one or more magnet links.
- Every option, button and menu has a clear name, and every window tells you what it is for and which keys to use.
- Values are spelled out (sizes, speeds, durations), never as hard-to-follow abbreviations.
- The Space bar starts or stops the selected torrent; Ctrl+Enter opens the folder where it is saved.
- Fully in English and in French.
Already using qBittorrent? The first time it starts, qBittorrentAccess takes a copy of your downloads and settings. Your qBittorrent is left unchanged.

JamulusAccess
JamulusAccess lets you play music live over the Internet with other musicians, as in a rehearsal room, on your own with your screen reader. It is based on Jamulus, the reference free software for online music, and keeps all of its features. We reviewed everything your screen reader says, from the first screen to the last.
What you get:
- The mixer is a list: the Up and Down arrows move from one musician to the next, the Left and Right arrows go through Volume, Pan, Mute, Solo, Group, Level and Profile, and Alt+Up and Alt+Down change the value.
- The server list is read item by item, with the ping rated good, fair or too high, so you can choose the best server.
- Musicians joining and leaving, the connection, the recording and every chat message are announced; Ctrl+2 lets you read the messages again.
- Ctrl+Shift+G tells you the connection status, the 1 and 2 keys the ping and the delay.
- The Peak Watcher speaks the peaks of your input above a threshold, to set your level without seeing a meter.
- Your sound card is left alone, as in a music program: no buffer or sample rate change unless you ask for it, so your screen reader's voice stays clear.
- Shift+F1 explains any control, Ctrl+Shift+H shows all the shortcuts, F1 opens the manual.
- Fully in English and in French.
JamulusAccess plays on every Jamulus server, with musicians who use Jamulus. Already using Jamulus? The first time it starts, JamulusAccess takes a copy of your settings. Your Jamulus is left unchanged.

WingetAccess
WingetAccess lets you install, update and uninstall your Windows software without ever typing a command, with your screen reader. It relies on Winget, the software manager built into Windows: no more copying a program's name to type "winget install" or "winget upgrade" by hand.
What you get:
- Three tabs: your installed software (Ctrl+1), available updates (Ctrl+2) and search (Ctrl+3). The tab name is announced.
- Enter updates the chosen program, or installs it from the search. Ctrl+Shift+U updates everything at once, one program after another, announcing "3 of 8".
- Delete uninstalls the chosen program, after confirmation.
- Tab from the list reads the description of the selected program: what it does, its publisher, its home page, its license.
- Every step is announced by your screen reader (NVDA, JAWS or Narrator), and a log at the bottom of the window keeps the details of everything that happened.
- On a new computer, WingetAccess prepares Winget on its own: it activates or repairs it when needed, accepts the terms of use and installs its new version when there is one.
- Nothing to install: a single file you put wherever you like. WingetAccess updates itself.
WingetAccess is free, in English and French, following the Windows language.
