Hello, Launch pad is similar to how you would see all your apps on an iPhone. It is very usable with VO. I use the doc for frequently used programs. I also use the keyboard commander for my favorite apps. For everything else I use command a to go into the applications folder. You can also use spotlight to open apps,folders and files on your machine.
