DIGIT-EYES AUDIO LABELING SYSTEM ADVANCES INDEPENDENCE FOR
VISUALLY
IMPAIRED Digital Miracles, LLC, is pleased to announce a major
advancement in assistive technology for people who are blind and
visually impaired. The Digit-Eyes Audio Labeling System has been
approved
for sale on the Apple Apps Store. As of June
23rd, the millions
of people worldwide with substantial vision loss can begin
downloading the iPhone
application to recognize and label the important items in their
lives.
Reasonably priced at $29.99, the Digit-Eyes phone app is a
powerful
tool that fits
into any budget and life- style, turning challenging tasks into
easy, safe activities.
The Digit-Eyes system gives users a simple way to make custom
labels for everyday
items and it identifies packaged goods-joining advanced software
with the iPhone,
the Internet, home computers, printers, and inexpensive
off-the-shelf labels. People
of almost any visual ability can now put groceries away and grab
the right prescription
bottle independently.
"This is the most exciting product I've worked on," says Nancy
Miracle, president
of Digital Miracles and software engineer with 40 years
experience.
"The limited
functions and high cost of existing assistive devices just seemed
wrong, so our objective
was to develop a product that performed better than any
comparable
technology and
offer it at about 10% of the price. Combining the need for
identification with a
natural, powerful and robust tool like the iPhone made the
project
irresistible."
With Digit-Eyes, users can print custom text labels or record
audio
labels that they
make by scanning specially coded labels and speaking into their
phones. They attach
the labels to household items, and the messages are played back
whenever the codes
are rescanned with their iPhones. This Digit-Eyes app can also
scan
manufacturer
codes (UPC, EAN, ISBN) and say what's inside the package after
checking the vast
Digit-Eyes product database. Each iPhone stores over five
hundred
hours of information
and can be used just about anywhere.
"This product is amazing! By labeling leftovers with their
contents
and date refrigerated,
I can determine if my dinner will be edible or not. Next, I'll
be
labeling my jungle
of AC adapters so I'll never again have to guess what they all go
to. The ease of
use and flexibility of the process make it an invaluable tool!"
Randy Builder, Seattle, Washington.
The first public display of Digit-Eyes is at the National
Federation of the Blind
convention in Dallas, Texas, July 4 - 7, booth B113. The exhibit
then moves to the
American Council of the Blind convention July 10 - 15 in Phoenix,
Arizona, booth
#41. Attendees can experience the use and capability of the
system
with hands-on
demonstrations. Details, explanations, and examples will be
available at both conventions,
or immediately on-line at
<outbind://3/www.DIGIT-EYES.com> www.DIGIT-EYES.com.
Digital Miracles, LLC, the parent company of Digit-Eyes, is a
Texas-based corporation
that develops customized software solutions. The Digit-Eyes
Audio
Labeling System
was created by a team of engineers, software designers and
members
of the visually
impaired community.
