There are hundreds of apps that help visually impaired
users use smartphones. One app is called Ariadne GPS, this is an app developed
by Giovanni Ciaffoni. The app has maps that talk to the user and it tells the
user close bus or train stops. The app is available in several different
languages and can be linked to Google Maps.
Another app that helps visually
impaired is called VM Alert – Video Motion Detector, which was developed by
Adam Uccello. The app detects motion and tells the user when someone is near
them by notifying them by sound or vibration.
One more app that really helps the
visually impaired is called Color ID Free. GreenGar Studios created the app and
when a smartphone is pointed at an object, the program announces what color the
object is. It can also see the difference in the type of colors. For instance,
it can tell one if yogurt is moldy or not or if the bread is still good.
