    Hi, I'm Marius from Romania and I'm a physically disabled person developing open and closed source programs.

    Personal site: https://marius.sucan.ro/

    The app I would like to introduce is KeyPress OSD. One of my numerous health problem, I have a poor eyesight. To help myself and others with this problem, I developed KeyPress OSD: https://keypressosd.com/ .

    It is made to improve the accessibility of edit fields, to help anyone with poor eyesight be able to see easier what they type.

    As a side note, it is very useful for screen casting and making tutorials, as you can highlight key presses and mouse clicks and much more.

    It is highly customizable and easy to use.

    On the KeyPress OSD web site, you can download a trial period of 7 days. I have an old version on GitHub as well [freeware]: https://github.com/marius-sucan/KeyPress-OSD .

    To see a demonstration, please watch my YouTube video here:

    Feel free to try it out, comment and suggest improvements!

    Best regards, Marius.
