By default Vinux provides two screen readers, Braille support plus an accessible suite of applications. When you boot the Vinux image, you are greeted by [[https://live.gnome.org/Orca/#About_Orca|Orca]] which enables you to navigate the graphical desktop environment with keyboard navigation. As of Vinux 5.0 released November 2015, images include [[unity|Unity]] [[gnome-shell|Gnome-Shell]] and the [[mate_install|Mate]] Desktop environments. It is our hope that the single image we will now be providing for each both 32 and 64 bit architectures will be able to accomidate all users.
