Gnopernicus was a free GNOME desktop application that provided Assistive Technologies (AT) for blind and visually impaired users. Gnopernicus is no longer actively developed and has been replaced by Orca in GNOME.

Gnopernicus is a "one-size-fits-all" screen reader that provided speech, Braille, and magnification for users with a range of visual impairments. Gnopernicus provided for user interface customization - including customizing the speech output and voices, customizing the keystroke commands to drive it, customizing the Braille display key input, and customizing the way magnification is rendered. It was also possible to edit the XML files that describe the speech and Braille output renderings.
