Echobatix vs MeasureBetter

Echobatix is a subscription app that provides text accessibility and barcode reading for people who are blind, low vision, or have difficulty reading printed text. You can interact with touch screens, control panels, and inkprint text, read text on objects in your hand, and find words such as room numbers and business signs. You can also read UPC barcodes for approximately 2.8 million grocery items. The app is available as a monthly or annual subscription. A one-week free trial provides access to all features. The first time the app starts you'll select a monthly or annual subscription. Then your one-week free trial begins. During the one-week free trial you'll have access to ALL features of Echobatix, including Explore, Read, Find, and Barcode modes. After the one-week free trial your renewable monthly or annual subscription begins with continued access to all features. You can cancel your subscription at any time. In Explore mode, hear words spoken aloud as you move your index finger across a surface with text. In Read mode, hear your iOS device read text read aloud from an object in your hand. In Find mode, use the keyboard, Braille input, or dictation to enter one or more words to find.

Echobatix works with VoiceOver, Larger Text, and dark mode. If VoiceOver is not enabled, then the Echobatix app generates speech using the default voice. Over the past few years we have developed and tested our point and speak capability for mobile devices and smart glasses. Our team, half of which is blind, is committed to continual innovation, including a patent pending for upcoming features. The Echobatix app is a tool to exercise your right to accessibility.

Measure Better is the simplest way to use your Reekon digital tape measure. No account creation. Install the app, pair your tape over Bluetooth, and start measuring. Once paired, just pull the tape. Measure Better speaks each measurement aloud the moment your tape stops moving — so you can keep your eyes on your work, your hands on your material, and your phone in your pocket. The phone doesn't need to be unlocked or even on screen. As long as the app is installed and your tape is awake, you'll hear every measurement. Built for real work, Pull the tape. Hear the measurement. Save it with a single press of the button on the tape itself. Need to mark the center of a board? One button press toggles Center Mode, and the app speaks half the length. Need to measure from wall to wall, case included? Measure Back mode adds the body of the tape automatically. Setting up a fence-guided cut on a circular saw? Fence Reference handles the blade-to-fence offset math for you. Your Reekon tape measure, now talking. Measure Better speaks every measurement aloud so you can measure confidently without looking at the screen. Pull the tape, hear the value, press the save button to record it — completely hands-free. Built for VoiceOver users and anyone who needs their hands free on the job. WHAT IT DOES • Speaks measurements aloud when the tape stops moving • Reads fractions naturally ("six and a half inches") • Works through AirPods, hearing aids, Bluetooth speakers, or CarPlay • Measure Back, Center, Fence Reference, running totals, and a labeled notebook • Imperial or metric, fractions or decimals, precision to 1/64" • Pair both your 16-ft and 25-ft tapes and switch freely WORKS WITH Reekon T1 Tomahawk and T1M (16 ft and 25 ft) Bluetooth digital tape measures. Five actions, one button The save button on your Reekon tape measure does five different things depending on how many times you press it. One press saves to your Notebook. Two presses adds the measurement to a running total. Three presses toggles Measure Back. Four presses toggles Center Mode. Five presses toggles Fence Reference. No menus, no taps, no looking at the phone. Notebook and export Every saved measurement lands in the Notebook tab with a timestamp. Label each entry with a custom name like "Kitchen doorway" or "Closet width," and export the whole list as a text message, email, or shared file when the job is done. Imperial, metric, fractional, decimal — your choice Switch between Imperial and Metric on the fly. Pick fractional inches, decimal inches, feet-and-inches, decimal feet, millimeters, centimeters, or meters. Spoken measurements use natural language — "eighteen and three quarter inches" instead of "eighteen point seven five" — so you can write down or call out a value just the way a carpenter would. Works with Reekon T1 Tomahawk (25 ft) Reekon T1M Utility (16 ft and 25 ft) Audio anywhere Measurements play through whatever audio output your iPhone is using — Bluetooth headphones, AirPods, a Bluetooth speaker, a hearing aid, a car stereo, or the iPhone's built-in speaker. Just put on your headphones and the measurements follow you. Accessibility Measure Better was developed with full support for blind and low-vision users built into every function. VoiceOver is fully supported throughout the app. You will not need any assistance to install, run, or use Measure Better. Every screen, button, and announcement was designed and tested with VoiceOver as a first-class experience, not an afterthought.
