wfview had been tested on the linux operating system using standard PC hardware from abou 10 years ago. wfview also runs great on the Raspberry Pi. When a Pi is set up to run wfview full screen on boot, it makes the Pi into a perfect "display adapter" for demonstrations using large TVs or projectors. wfview should totally work on Windows and Mac. If you are up for helping with the porting, please let me know.
**How can I get it?**
For installation directions, please see [INSTALL.md](https://gitlab.com/eliggett/wfview/-/blob/master/INSTALL.md) in [the repo](https://gitlab.com/eliggett/wfview/-/tree/master).
In the future, we will figure out a way to provide a proper .deb file. For now, just follow the directions and it will install.

**How can wfview help blind hams?**
Using the touch screen on the IC-7300 is a real chore for the visually impaired. Afterall, there is nothing to feel other than a smooth screen! wfview solves this problem entirely. A Raspberry Pi, set to run wfview full screen on boot (note, no real screen need be actually attached), enables a standard keyboard to fully control the IC-7300. Commands are available to trigger the IC-7300's built-in speech synthesizer. Future plans include a software speech synthesizer on the computer to speak more operations.

**What about touch screens?**
Just as wfview works great with a keyboard only, wfview is a real pleasure to use with a touch screen. All the UI elements work great with a touch screen and most of them scale with screen resolution. A small 7" screen on a Raspberry Pi makes a great controller for the IC-7300.
