My brother is visually impaired. Together we built a free WhatsApp Web accessibility plugin for Windows — plus games, audio drama, and news.
My brother is visually impaired and we've been building BlindLive(https://blindlive.com/) together. He tests everything — if he can't use it, it doesn't ship.
The main thing: WhatsApp Web Accessibility Booster (free, Windows)
WhatsApp Web is a mess with screen readers. We fixed it:
- Wrong-send protection — two-step confirmation before a message goes out, so you never accidentally send to the wrong chat
- Announces the chat name every time you switch chats
- Announces incoming messages aloud in real time
- Keyboard shortcuts — Alt+C for chat list, Alt+M for message input, Alt+U for unread messages
Works with NVDA, JAWS, and Narrator on Chrome and Edge.
Free download, no account needed: https://www.blindlive.com/download
Also on the platform:
- 4 keyboard-only audio games (shooter, spelling quiz, logic puzzle, text adventure in Hindi + English)
- Hinglish audio drama — 2 seasons, 13 episodes, Delhi thriller
- Daily news read aloud with one keypress
Everything is free, no paywall, no ads.

We're two people — my brother who is visually impaired, and me. We don't have a team or funding. If you try it, please tell us:
- Does the plugin actually help with your screen reader?
- Is anything broken or frustrating to navigate?
- What feature would make the biggest difference for you?
Honest feedback means everything to us right now. Even one comment helps.
