Amedia NaviRec (iOS, Free)
NaviRec is a guidance recording app for the visually impaired. The app is a
combination of a voice recorder and GPS device.
It is capable to record audio and its locations during an entire travel and
recreate its experience subsequently, helping the visually impaired to
travel confidently.
NaviRec has three modes: Record Mode, Replay Mode and Guidance Mode. Record
Mode and Replay Mode work just like a normal voice recorder. It records and
replays the audio recorded during a guidance. When traveling, use Guidance

overTHERE (iOS, Free)
overTHERE is a unique accessibility app that helps blind individuals explore
and interact with the surrounding environment by using virtual audible
signs. overTHERE uses a unique line-of-sight algorithm that lets you point
the phone in your hand in any direction to hear the nearest Places as
Virtual Talking Signs. When pointing straight at a virtual sign the speech
is loud and clear, but as you point away from it, the speech starts to get
staticky, so you have quick audio feedback about the exact location of the
virtual talking sign.
Holding the phone horizontally lets you explore your surroundings using the
virtual talking signs interface, but when the phone is held vertically you
can use the screen or VoiceOver to review the list of signs around you. By
selecting a sign from the list you can access details about a location such
as its address, phone number, or web site.
overTHERE even lets you create your own virtual talking signs, so you can
mark special locations that might otherwise be difficult to find again.

the blind with their daily lives. It has been developed in collaboration
with blind people and carefully field tested. You need either an iPhone or
an iPad to get started. It also supports some additional accessories to
enhance the experience.
How does it work?
BlindSquare uses GPS and the compass to locate you. It then gathers
information about the surrounding environment from FourSquare. BlindSquare
has some unique algorithms to decide what information is the most relevant
and then speaks it to you with high quality speech synthesis. What's the
most popular café within 200 meters radius? Where is the post office or the

feature is a premium service requiring purchase of credits for continuous
use.

Zealand, and Denmark. You can shake your device or use the Audio Menu to

until the app comes back into the foreground. This is a configurable setting
on the Settings tab in chat. Also, the first time the app enters the
background while you're in a chat room, you'll get a notification explaining
this behavior.

room.

Why I Upgraded to the iPhone 7, Even Without the Headphone Jack
By Darrell Shandrow Hilliker | September 26, 2016
I considered skipping this iPhone due to the disappearance of the headphone
jack, for about one second, then I moved back into reality and took the
plunge. Why?
The iPhone 7 is much more than just a missing headphone jack, even for those
of us in the connected, online blind community.
Image stabilization on the camera, now in both iPhone models, means it
should be easier to receive remote sighted assistance through apps like
BeSpecular and read printed material using the KNFB Reader. Furthermore, the
dual camera lenses and large screen of the iPhone 7 Plus should benefit
people with some usable sight.
The increased battery life, memory, processor and storage found in the
iPhone 7 represent a significant performance boost for all users.

Sleeping With The Stars: Old Time Radio and my iPhone
By Morgan | September 14, 2016
In October of 1999, during a business trip to California, I had the
opportunity to attend an exclusive private party on the retired luxury
liner, the RMS Queen Mary. The former flagship of the White Star Line was
reserved for this one very raucous bash. For me, parties usually involved
two or three old friends and a single bottle of good wine. However, this was
a fancy-pants event and because I am a plain old vanilla guy, I was now in
way over my head.
My guide dog and I boarded the rowdy thousand-foot party boat. The gala host
graciously assigned a staff person to walk with me and assist in my
discovery of the multitude of food stations, music venues and bars. The
Queen Mary had lots of bars.
As we walked along the decks and through the passageways, my human guide
pointed out numerous live actors and actresses, who had been hired for the
evening to impersonate famous dead ones. I was told they looked just like
the originals. They also sounded and acted the same as their famous
counterparts. We met with W. C. Fields, Mae West, Clark Gable and Humphrey
Bogart.
And then, I ran into Marilyn Monroe. I had seen a couple of her films, and I
was aware of her history, but I never quite understood her sex appeal. As we
approached the counterfeit starlet, she whispered in her sultry and silky
voice, "What kind of dog is that?"

Recap of Apple's September 7 Event
By mehgcap | September 7, 2016
Today, Apple took the wraps off updates to its most popular product, and its
wearable. We saw the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, as well as the long-anticipated
Apple Watch 2. We also got hard dates for the public releases of the
upcoming software updates across all of Apple's products. There was a lot
covered today, so let's get right to it! If you like, you can follow along
on the <http://www.apple.com/apple-events/september-2016/> full video of
the event.
iPhone 7: Better than Ever--mostly
To the surprise of no one at all, Apple kicked things off with the next
generation of its most popular mobile device: the iPhone. The 6s, released a
year previously, was the first to sport displays that know how hard you're
pushing on them, 12mp cameras, and major internal updates that brought
unheard-of speed and power to a device that still managed to be thin,
strong, and durable. This year, they did all of that again, but kicked it up
a notch. The result is what I can only describe as mouth-watering (a term
I'll be hard-pressed to stop from applying to pretty much everything else I
get to write about today).
First, let's talk about the bad news. As many had feared in the months
leading up to this announcement, the iPhone 7 is Apple's first mobile device
to lack a headphone jack. Yes, you read that correctly. Apple has decided
that the future of audio lies in wireless (bluetooth and Airplay) and a new
generation of wired connection. Namely, audio will now be served via the
onboard Lightning port, or via your favorite wireless headphones/speakers.
This offers a number of advantages, chief among them a major increase in
digital audio quality. Without going into all the details, Apple has
essentially concluded that music sounds much better when decoded through
special chips built into Lightning-compatible audio devices, rather than
through an internal chip meant to drive audio to any speaker or mixer you
care to attach. But don't panic: if 3.5mm is still the only way to go for
you, every iPhone 7 will include an adapter that will let you use your
existing audio peripherals without any problem. It will also come with
Apple's next-generation EarPods, which now end in a Lightning connector
rather than the 3.5mm plug we all know and love.

AppleVis Launches New App Directory for Sharing Information on the
Accessibility of Apple TV Apps
By AppleVis | September 6, 2016
We are pleased to announce the launch of an Apple TV App Directory to enable
members of our community to share information about the accessibility of
tvOS apps to blind and low vision users.
Since the launch of the Fourth-Generation Apple TV, it has been our desire
to add an Apple TV App Directory to the AppleVis website. However, we
delayed doing so in the hope that Apple would introduce a web-based
interface for its Apple TV App Store, as not having this presents a number
of issues. Most significantly, there is no easy way for people to retrieve
information on an app; and there is no way for AppleVis site editors to
check the accuracy and completeness of submitted information.
However, despite some hints that Apple may be working on providing online
information on Apple TV apps, we have still to see any firm developments. In
the meantime, we have been aware that members of our community are missing
out on the opportunity to seek and share information on the accessibility of
Apple TV apps. Thus, despite the aforementioned limitations, we have decided
to launch an app directory for Apple TV appsin the hopes that even if the
information is not as complete as we would like, it will nevertheless
provide value to the community.
