Sight and Sound Technology webinar introduces a highly innovative new App called “Voxmate”.
Introducing Voxmate – a simple way for VIs to navigate using an Android phone
The Sight and Sound Technology team invite you to join them on 27 October at 7pm to meet the Co-Founder of “Voxmate”, Mr Gleb Zevkov.
Voxmate is an intuitive, gesture-based, Android app for people who are blind or visually impaired.
With only four simple swipes, users can listen to audiobooks, podcasts and radio, read news articles, place phone calls, browse social networks like Facebook and Reddit, play games, and much more!
Gleb Zevkov will take us through the suite of applications and will also tell his own very personal story, explaining how Voxmate was born in this webinar.
Currently, Voxmate is available only on smartphones running Android.
An Android tablet version is also in development. If you are an Android user, feel free to download Voxmate for free from the Google Play Store and then come armed with your user experience and questions for Gleb after the webinar.
VisionBridge founder Julian Jackson commented “ As a vi user of assistive tech myself, I am always hunting for improvements in the usability and functionality of my phone! I think this is a really interesting and disruptive contribution which I hope will be sufficiently interesting for professionals to mention this to their vi patients and popular amongst (initially) android vi users.
“My social enterprise VisionBridge in support of Sight and Sound Technology continues to discuss the appropriateness of assistive tech prototypes with developers worldwide and there will be more webinars including Q&A sessions with inventors and innovators throughout the autumn and winter months. “
