What is MyVisBar?

MyVisBar is a floating toolbar which delivers a range of open source and freeware applications to support learners with visual difficulties. 

The floating toolbar is a high contrast (yellow on black) toolbar offering 6 quality applications; Magnify (DesktopZoom, a desktop magnifier), Speech (Thunder screen reader), Write (Q10, a high contrast text editor), Read (T-Bar for colour masking), Resize (change your desktop resolution) and Focus (Sonar ring to track the mouse cursor).

MyVisBar is also portable which means it can be downloaded and launched from a USB pendrive.
