7-128 Software, Simply Entertainment, has just released, “Synonyms and Antonyms” a new game that is accessible to blind and visually impaired players.
It speaks either “Synonym” or “Antonym” and a word, and then speaks a list of words. You pick the synonym or antonym from a menu.
It’s surprisingly challenging, given that you never know whether you’re going to be asked for a synonym or antonym and that you’re working against the clock.
It has 10 levels and an Easy button.
- It is self-voicing and works with JAWS.
- It works with the magnification part of ZoomText.
- It includes BigType and works with Windows High Contrast settings.
- It runs in the 7-128 Software Game Book and costs $5.
Synonyms and Antonyms was developed by a former college professor.
It joins nine accessble games previously released by 7-128 Software .
7-128 Software also has just released the FREE DarkTimer.
This is a simple self-voicing timer you can use on your computer. You can set the verbosity.
It was developed originally for a university student in England.
It’s available for FREE download at www.7128.com .
