Word processors are essential tools for creating documents. For users with limited resources, access to free or low-cost word processors is critical for education and work. However, many word processors require regular paid updates or high-end devices, making them inaccessible to some users. Additionally, if documents are not formatted for accessibility (e.g., without proper headings or alt text), they may be unusable by screen readers.
