About Voxcess
A small studio building software that works with a screen reader from the start.
What Voxcess does
Voxcess builds apps that a blind or low-vision person can pick up and use without hitting a wall. The first apps run on Windows and Android. More platforms and more apps are planned as the studio grows.
Accessibility-first does not mean a stripped-back version of the real app. It means the keyboard order, the spoken feedback, and the way each error is explained get sorted out before any of the visual polish. The same app works for sighted users, just without the things that usually get in their way.
Beta notice. Every app on Voxcess today is in beta. Use them freely while we test, find rough edges with you, and decide what is ready to ship.
The problem we are solving
Most software treats accessibility as a checklist at the end of a release. Screen reader users get unlabelled buttons, keyboard traps, and screens they cannot read. In India, where Voxcess is built, the gap is wider. Visually impaired users often end up stuck between mainstream tools that ignore them and assistive tools years behind everything else.
We are trying to do this the other way round. Get the screen reader experience right first, then build the rest on top of it.
