Description of App
NEW: Play the newly-added Wordvoyance single player mode to learn the game, sharpen your skills, and test your might against the CPU at a faster pace than playing against human opponents! Wordvoyance, the online multiplayer crossword building game with accessibility built-in! Instantly familiar to anyone who has played games like it, Wordvoyance matches are faster and more exciting - but more importantly, ad free! Then, if you're a user of accessibility tools like VoiceOver, the game fully supports your screen reader and offers plenty of tools to help you organize and keep track of the action while you play. At long last, visually-impaired and fully sighted players alike can enjoy this classic board game together! This iOS App version of Wordvoyance supports additional gestures and accessibility shortcuts that make it so much easier to play. Quickly check your work and submit your turn with a Magic Tap. Three-finger scroll left and right between the beginnings of words on the board. Swipe between headings to hop between the game board, tile rack, and all of the game's additional game status readouts. Use the Escape gesture to quickly close dialogs and reclaim tiles from play. There's more! Wordvoyance fully supports keyboards and game controllers too! This is the first crossword game with our innovative cursor input method that enables methods of play beyond just drag and drop - though, that's supported as well. It not only makes blind play a breeze, it's incredibly useful even if you're not visually impaired. Join us in our mission to bring people together through play!

They have a cute Mac game
Hang duels, accessible though a bit quirky and i wouldn't mind a few sound effects but this is the web so... Here's to hang duels I hope they'll let you play against others sometime.
i need a physical Scrabble set, but the game does work
As a life long user of Braille, I must usa a Brailled Scrabble set to play. The Braille Scrabble board is the standard 15 by 15 grid, rather than this 13 by 13 grid. It takes a very long time to find the tiles the game puts onto your rack from the 100 tiles of the Brailled set. I do like the game, though.
Not So Bad Podcast - Latest episode featuring the creators
Hi all.
Matt here from the Not So Bad Podcast. A relatively new podcast where myself and my cohost Pat chat about everything related to living with blindness and try not to take it all too seriously. Our aim is to raise a bit of awareness around what blind and visually impaired people do and how they live.
In our latest episode, episode 11, we chat to the devs from wordvoyance and its an amazing conversation. We cover the state of gaming both on IOS and other platforms, how they came to develop for the blind and VI community and loads more.
You can check out episode 11 here
We also usually cover a cool IOS app or piece of assistive tek in each episode and loads of other random stuff.

Pat, my cohost, has very limited degrading site and is a world class Paralympian.
To find out more about us i guess you'll just have to tune in ;).
Cheers guys
Love it, but a bit too expensive.
Simply put it's the accessible game Wordfeud should have been and I hope that there will be some collaboration at some point to implement these accessibility-features in that game eventually. I've never been a fan of separating the us who needs to use screen readers from the rest of the player base, and sadly I don't think many will rush over to a similar game, even if there are more accessibility features.
The pricing is a bit high just to be able to have several ongoing matches at the same time, but there are ways to have a few games going on, if you got friends to set it up that is.
