According to the makers of the SimplicITy, ELDY (as they call it), is designed to be bold and distinctive so the computer can be as easy to use by sighted and partially sighted users alike. The ELDY program uses a magnification feature so that users can zoom in on the screen. Although ELDY does not support voice recognition at this time, they do offer a choice of accessible keyboards to allow users clearly see the keys and type.

The ELDY program runs with Linux Mint, and the user can apparently simply minimise ELDY to gain access to the Linux desktop. Acknowledging that not everyone will know the finer points of managing a computer straight away, such as how to connect it to a wireless network, they offer a free 0800 number that users can ring so they can guide users through the process.
