Step vs Blind Companion

The Step-Hear® app is the new platform that will enable visually impaired and blind people get an audio and vibration alert whenever passing by a Step-Hear® device installed in private and public locations. On receiving the alert signal by Bluetooth the user presses one of the buttons triggering an audio message giving location, service and navigation instructions.

Blind Companion is a daily checklist and reminder app designed for blind and low-vision users. It helps turn everyday tasks that need a quick double-check into simple, spoken, actionable, and reviewable flows. Useful scenarios include: Before leaving home, check your phone, keys, white cane, earphones, and ID or card. During the day, review door locks, stove, appliance power, taps, and windows. Before work, check your phone, earphones, computer or tablet, charger, and documents. Before bedtime, review door locks, phone charging, items for tomorrow, alarm, and water cup. For medication, record whether it has been handled as instructed and keep a local daily record. Key features: Today Hear what is still pending today and what comes next.
