There are people who cannot use computers normally because of their physical disabilities. Adaptive software makes it possible for such persons to enjoy the benefits of using a personal computer. Otherwise, they may not be able to do so for either work or recreation.

Some examples of adaptive software include:

1. Narrator (within the Windows Accessibility features): This software can read aloud menu commands, dialog box options and more. Plus, it can announce events on screen and read typed characters.
   
2. Text-to-Speech Adaptive Software (also known as speech recognition software): This software can type spoken words into a computer.
