Ariadne GPS App - Talking Map Helps Blind People Navigate Independently | Leveling the playing field with apps | Scoop.it

"Ariadne GPS offers you the possibility to know your position and to get information about the street, the number, etc. and explore the map of what’s around you. What do we mean by saying “explore”? You’ll deal with a talking map.

 

This app is completely accessible using voice over and gives you access to information that are normally unavailable to people using the speech synthesizer and can be therefore especially useful to blind and partially sighted people.


This app has the following main features:

> Telling you where you are;

> Letting you explore what’s around you;Letting you explore a specific zone;

> Periodically checking your position and telling where you are (by only telling the details changed since last check);

> Letting you add and list your favourite points;

> Alerting you when you are close to one of your favourite points."
