synesthesia

vOICe for Android is an auditory sensory tool that translates live camera views into sound, aiding the blind by providing synthetic visual data. The software delivers real-time OCR, compass reading, face detection and GPS-based talking locator, with a talking color identifier as an additional feature.

vOICe software converts PC camera images to audio that's transmitted through stereo headphones. This sensory substitution aids in synthetic vision, focusing on the needs of the visually impaired.
