EyeNote® is a free mobile device application developed by BEP as an aid for blind or visually impaired individuals to identify U.S. Federal Reserve currency denominations from Series 1996 to the present. The app uses image recognition technology and the device’s integrated camera to recognize a note and communicate its denomination back to the user, via voice or unique auditable beeps or vibration patterns for privacy. * Utilizes VoiceOver for vocal and gesture feedback, if it is turned on. * Does not require a data connection to work. * One touch, hand-held operation. * Identifies note face and back in any orientation, including portions of the note. * Continuous scanning once application is open; taking a photo with the camera is not required. * Quick response time. * Supports English and Spanish languages. * Compatible with Apple mobile devices iOS11 or greater. EyeNote does not authenticate U.S. Federal Reserve notes as being either genuine or counterfeit. Please refer to the Apple AppStore℠ license agreement for additional information.

This app provides a QR Code-based audio tour of the Putnam Memorial State Park Revolutionary War Winter Encampment in Ridgefield Connecticut, the site of General Israel Putnam's 1778-79 winter encampment. Putnam Memorial State Park marks an important part of Connecticut’s history. This site housed 3,000 Revolutionary War soldiers in 1778 and 1779 and the encampment played an indispensable strategic role for the Continental Army, allowing soldiers to protect the Hudson River Valley and Long Island Sound. CRIS Radio is thrilled to bring the stories of the Revolutionary War to life and make the park’s history more accessible! In the future, more audio tours will be added to this app!
