The vOICe for Android is an augmented reality application that translates live views from an Android smartphone or tablet into sounds that you hear via the device's speaker or headset, thus targeting sensory substitution applications for the blind, and even synthetic vision. For low-vision users it may offer augmented vision. The vOICe uses pitch for height and loudness for brightness in a left to right scan of any view. It also includes a talking color identifier, talking compass, talking face detection and GPS based talking locator that speaks the names of nearby streets and intersections. Experimental tactile graphics mode.
