Fresh off the press: Transition Technologies, the Polish company behind everything with Seeing Assistant in the name, have done it again. Seeing Assistant Go is their brand-new navigation app that improves on the previous Move offering. Most of the features you know are there plus a few additions. There is a simple as well as an advanced mode with a couple more settings and options. You can explore all of the OSM tags for a point which lets you find out pretty useful things e.g. does a pavement have tactile flooring or do the traffic lights have acoustic signalling. The navigation no longer provides instructions based on clock-wise or compass directions but rather you turn around with the phone in your hand and once you hear the assigned sound, you know you have found the direction and then carry on straight. This one will need a bit of getting used to but I was told by an experienced blind tester of the app it actually works once you got the hang of it. As far as I know, a blind developer and user of navigation apps is involved full-time in the project. Happy testing! iOS: apps.apple.com/pl/app/seeing-a…: play.google.com/store/apps/det… #Accessibility #a11y #Blind

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, vibrations and pointing in the direction of the top of the phone.App Store
