## What is Talking Compass?

This app speaks the direction you are facing, North, south, east, etc. We built this app to help the blind improve their sense of direction. You can set the speech rate, appearance, and how much compass information you receive. Think of this as an advanced compass for the blind. This app is particularly useful if you are a mobility instructor working on teaching the blind or Visually impaired how to navigate the world.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2021-09-16*

So the first day I downloaded and use the app I could hear the talking. Now I hear Nothing!

### 3/5 — Some improvements

*2020-02-06*

The app doesn't stop the phone from autolocking the screen. It stops speaking when this happens.
It would also be useful to double tap on your current heading and then a continuous sound could be played. It could go up in pitch if the user veered off that heading to the left or down in pitch if they veered right.  It would assist in walking in a straight line. The standard compass app has a similar feature but it isnt accessible

**Developer response:** Thanks for the ideas, I will implement something like this in the future release.

### 3/5 — Pretty good app I

*2019-08-11*

I just got the app and messed with the settings and I like how specific the compass is.
