InviOcean Team Shares Its Results for November 2025
November was a significant month for InviOcean, marked by important events for the blind and visually impaired community. On November 13, the International Day of the Blind was observed — a date that highlights the need for a systematic approach to digital accessibility and high-quality user information, fully reflecting our mission.
Our goal is to create a space where blind and visually impaired users can receive accurate, verified, and well-structured information about digital technologies. We aim not just to collect data, but to make it accessible and practical for everyday use.
Our catalogs, articles, and reviews are designed to help users confidently navigate the digital environment, find suitable tools for learning, work, and leisure, and feel part of a supportive community
More About the Results
In November, our activities focused on expanding the game catalog and the adapted courses catalog. We extended these sections and added new search filters. The Forums catalog was moved to the Community section.
We continued working on content localization, adding new materials in other languages so that users from different regions could access information in a convenient format. We tested the keyword-based search system, evaluating result quality and usability. Our goal is to make site navigation as simple as possible, ensuring that tools and links can be found quickly and without unnecessary steps.
Our Catalogs
Currently, five catalogs for users with visual impairments are under development:
- Applications — active; as of the end of November, it contains 121 entries. Three new titles were added, and ratings and descriptions of several applications were updated.
- Games — active; as of the end of November, it contains 419 games. In November, 59 new titles were added. Release date information was added to the catalog cards.
- Community — currently being populated.
- Adapted Courses — active; as of the end of November, it contains 138 entries. In November, 98 new titles were added.

Website Optimization and Localization
In November, we continued developing the project’s international direction. This time, our team prepared and published 27 articles in German, expanding InviOcean’s geographic reach.
We are also working on building a multilingual ecosystem and are open to volunteers willing to help with translations into Turkish, Chinese, Spanish, and Hindi.

Ways to Contribute
Any form of participation — subscribing, sharing, commenting, or volunteering — helps make the digital world more accessible for blind and visually impaired users.
We’re inviting people who want to contribute to the development of web accessibility. We need:
- Translators — to help adapt our materials into Spanish, Turkish, Chinese, and Hindi, making our resources available to more people.
- Writers and editors — to write and refine texts about accessibility, technology, and the people changing our world.
- Designers and illustrators — to create materials and interfaces that are clear and convenient for all users, including those with visual impairments.
- Testers and accessibility enthusiasts — to evaluate digital solutions and share their experiences, expanding and improving our thematic catalogs.
- Mentors and trainers — to share knowledge, experience, and support with new members of the community; to create educational wizards and guides; to help people develop skills, master digital tools, and navigate the world of accessible technologies with confidence.
- Developers and game designers — to create and test accessible digital solutions, games, and interactive applications.
Even a few hours of your time can make a huge difference. Whether you can dedicate a whole day or just a couple of hours per week, every minute of help matters. Someone can translate an article, another can test an app, or prepare a short tutorial — together, all these efforts create real impact.
Interested? Write to us at support@inviocean.com or reach out on our Discord server— tell us about yourself, your interests, and your skills.
We’ll help you get on board: explain how things work, what tools and materials are used, and how to make your contribution as effective as possible. You don’t need to figure everything out from scratch — we’ll support you every step of the way.
Direct support for InviOcean’s work is available through becoming a patron on Patreon or via the Cooperation page.
New Formats
We are experimenting with new ways of engaging our audience. On our YouTube channel, a video series continues in which our Blind Adventurer explores the world of World of Warcraft, relying not on sight but on sound with the help of the Blind Slash addon. This addon demonstrates how a complex MMO can become accessible for blind players.
We welcome your feedback. Let us know which formats or topics interest you so we can create even more useful content.
