The Seeing Assistant Go app supports the spatial orientation of blind and visually impaired people. It provides information about the surroundings using synthetic speech, sounds, evibrations and pointing in the direction of the top of the phone. Useful when travelling, but also for getting to know the area of unfamiliar places you are about to visit. - Are you travelling by bus and want to know which stop it has just stopped at or how far it is to the one you want to get off at? - Which streets is the taxi taking you down? - Where is the nearest grocery shop to the guesthouse where you are going to spend your holiday? - Is the beach really as close from there as the owner claims? - Which stop is closest to the address you are going to and what is the best route to get there? - Do you want to save places that are important to you in the app so you can easily return to them? Two app modes let you customise the app to your liking: - Basic mode for beginners, without unnecessary functions that you are not going to use anyway. - Advanced mode: a lot of settings and functions, without which it is difficult to imagine a meaningful navigation app for the blind. There are a few things to keep in mind to make using Seeing Assistant Go convenient and safe for you: - The app is not a replacement for a white cane or a guide dog. It is a supplement to these rehabilitation aids. - The information in the app comes from map data, not from observation of the terrain. It may inform about closed places and ignore others that have not yet been mapped. - The routes suggested by the application do not take into account local conditions, such as pavement repairs or other temporary obstacles and impediments on the road. As with our other applications in the Seeing Assistant family, we have also included the best of what we have in the Transition Technologies team in Go: - More than a decade of experience in creating innovative software for the blind. - An uncompromising approach to maximising the product’s accessibility for screen readers. - Openness to implementing users’ ideas: we cannot guarantee that we will implement all good ideas quickly, but we will certainly do it better than anyone else!

Sense — your companion for independent, dignified navigation. A guidance app built for blind and low-vision people in Saudi Arabia: spoken directions in Arabic (including Saudi dialect), vibrations that tell you which way to go, and an interface that works with VoiceOver. Two modes: • Full Assistant (for blind users) — a black screen; tap and speak: "take me to the nearest pharmacy", "where am I?", "what's around me?" • Low Vision — high-contrast colours, large text and buttons, and a listen button on guidance screens Where Sense guides you: • On the street — the nearest pharmacy, mosque or restaurant, with step-by-step walking directions. In Full Assistant you can also ask for a place by name • Explore around you — nearby places with direction and distance • On the plane — say your seat number and airline, or scan your boarding pass, and Sense counts the rows with you down the aisle • Pilgrimage guide — Umrah and Hajj, the Prophet's Mosque visit, and the al-Baqi' visit Pilgrimage guide: • Automatic Tawaf and Sa'i lap counting with the compass and step counter, time remaining, and easy correction • Narrated adhkar with their sources, at the moments they belong • "Take me to": the Black Stone line, Maqam Ibrahim, Safa and Marwa, the nearest Umrah gate, the nearest exit, the nearest barber, the al-Baqi' entrance • Choose your Tawaf level by distance and usual crowding Also: • "What's in front of me?" — hold the phone at your chest and the iPhone camera warns you with vibration and voice when something is close ahead: most objects at body height on Pro models with LiDAR, common objects such as people, cars and chairs on other iPhones. It does not detect steps or holes, and it supports your cane rather than replacing it • Vibrations at turns and on arrival • Sense's natural voice even with VoiceOver on, with a screen-reader option in Settings Sense — because everyone deserves to move freely.
