Blindfold Sudoku vs SoundEcho

Blindfold Games are entertainment apps provided as a service to the visually impaired community by Objective Ed. Your in-app upgrades pay for the development and support of these games.  Sudoku is a fully accessible Sudoku game for both sighted and visually impaired people, designed for rapid audio play. Sudoku comes with 5 Sudoku 9-by-9 puzzles - easy, medium and difficult - and is controlled through gestures. It doesn't require voice-over but is fully compatible with voice-over. The Sudoku puzzle board is not visible; instead, you play by listening. Tap on a cell to hear what's in the cell, swipe right to hear the row, swipe down to hear the column and swipe up to hear the square. Sudoku gives you audio cues to tell the difference between the initial puzzle cells and the cells you fill in, and it lets you set multiple candidates for a cell. You can customize the game to your liking: how much extra information is spoken and how quickly it is spoken. Additional Sudoku puzzles are available as an in-app upgrade.

SoundEcho is a memory game with sounds that is easy to play and fully accessible with VoiceOver. SoundEcho is enjoyable for blind, low vision and sighted players alike. The gameplay is simple.
