De Steno Games

This app has six classic text games with sounds and music, and it is fully accessible with Voice Over. The six games were originally developed by Richard L. De Steno, and were very popular with people who were blind or had low vision back in the 90's. A blind person would use a screen reader, which is a piece of software that allowed a person who was blind or had low vision to play these games just like a sighted person. Here is a description of the six games.

As a blind gamer I thought the app is great! I remember playing the six games in this app back in the 90's. I am glad that I can play these great classic games again.

For anyone who wants to turn your phone into a 286 computer from 25 years ago, these games are for you. Automatic reading with VoiceOver is a blast and works flawlessly!

good work

The app is great. There's a lot of game choices, and it works awesomely with voiceover!! The only thing I have noticed, is that every time you lose a game, or supposedly, a game ends, the app closes on you before voiceover gets chance to read everything, or before you find out what happens. Also, it seems like either you always lose, or in the case of blackjack, the dealer always cheats and/or always wins. LOL. I think that's just me though. :-) One more thing, in some of the games, like "sounds like ", some of the instructions are hard to understand… As well as the actual game. All in all though, lots and lots of fun! And accessible!!

I Like It

Lives up to its description. I am a voice over user and find the games to be quite accessible. I just need to get better at playing them. I died as sheriff after like two moves. lol

Haven't Played It Much...

but so far it's okay. Well-made and no glitches. It's funny reading the instructions 'cause I don't understand half of them (I'm only sixteen--I don't know much about old computers LOL).
