the vOICe
Useful Applications for the Visually Impaired
I installed The Voice for Android on my Acer Picasso last week. This app allows your ears to see by turning what your camera sees into an audio signal.
The vOICe for Android application adds a sonic augmented reality overlay to the live camera view in real-time, thereby giving even totally blind people live and detailed information about their visual environment that they would otherwise not perceive. It may also serve as an interactive mobile learning app for teaching visual concepts to blind children. The vOICe for Android is a universal translator for mapping images to sounds.
I plugged in an 1/8" to 1/8" cable from my tablet into the mic input on my PC. I wish their was a better way to get a screen grab - but my device is not rooted. To record the screen I plugged in my old webcam and changed the audio input to record from the tablet. The video quality is poor, at best-but the audio is quite good...and you get a general overview of the application's functionality.
