About

Echobatix

Features
Read full description

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. In Barcode mode, point your iOS device at a UPC code to hear a short description for a grocery store item. Use the Help screen to access training, to provide feedback, or to review your subscription. To learn more about the app, visit the training pages on our website at the following link: https://www.echobatix.com/training/ You can also access the link for the web-based training pages from within the app: activate the Help button, then activate the Training button. 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.

About

LevelThings

Features
Read full description

Level Things Turn your iPhone into a reliable, accurate spirit level and inclinometer. Level Things is a simple yet feature-packed tool for checking level, plumb, and measuring angles. In Level mode, audio tones guide you to level hands-free. The tone pulses faster as you approach level and becomes a solid sound when you're within a tenth of a degree. Two on-screen bubble vials โ€” one horizontal, one vertical โ€” give you an instant visual reference for both level and plumb. In Inclinometer mode, the current angle is spoken aloud at a regular interval so you can measure without looking at the screen. Set a zero reference to measure the difference between two surfaces. Use any edge of your phone as your measuring surface. Four on-screen buttons let you tell the app which edge is pointing down, and the display adjusts automatically. Calibrate the left and right edges with a simple two-point method for maximum accuracy. Freeze a reading with the volume down button. Fully compatible with VoiceOver.
