moonshine is an open-source automatic speech recognition toolkit optimized for fast and accurate transcription on edge devices and local environments. The project is designed to enable real-time voice applications such as live transcription, voice commands, and embedded speech interfaces without requiring heavy cloud infrastructure. Its architecture emphasizes low latency and flexible input handling, allowing audio streams of varying durations rather than relying on fixed processing windows. Moonshine supports multiple platforms including mobile, desktop, and embedded systems, and provides example projects to accelerate integration into real-world products. The toolkit also includes specialized model variants, including monolingual options that improve accuracy for specific languages. Overall, moonshine serves developers building privacy-conscious, on-device voice interfaces that demand high performance with minimal resource overhead.

Winboard 4.5 32-bit is a free Windows accessible Chess program that works automatically with the JAWS or the free NVDA screen reader. It is for the blind, low sighted or those who can not use a mouse. It provides vocal announcements of position changes and other selectable board conditions. Blind players also use a separate "tactile chess board". Winboard 4.5 has full keyboard access to move pieces and run menu items. Partial sighted players use high contrast mode and adjust board, piece, most font sizes and colors. Available languages are English, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch and Russian. Games may be viewed, modified or saved in standard PGN format. Two Chess engines supply play and grand master strength move analysis. Connect to the Free Internet Chess Server (FICS) and play humans. Modify verbosity in screen reader configurations and in the Winboard "Sound" dialog under the "General" menu. Find all documentation in the "doc" folder under the Winboard directory of your C drive.
