<p class="MsoNormal">BlindSquare is the world’s most widely used accessible GPS-app developed for the blind, deafblind and partially sighted. Paired with third-party navigation apps, BlindSquare’s self-voicing app delivers detailed points of interest and intersections
for safe, reliable travel both outside and inside. Open the doors to enhanced independence with BlindSquare.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">How does it work?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">After determining your location, BlindSquare gathers information about your surroundings on Foursquare and OpenStreetMap.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">INTERESTS<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Algorithms determine what information is most useful to you such as popular cafes, post offices or libraries.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">NAVIGATION<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Shake your device to hear your current address and details about the nearest intersection and venues around you.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">BlindSquare will track your destination and periodically announce the distance and direction you’re headed.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Mark your position if you’d like help finding your way back later.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">FILTERS<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Filters can be applied to provide only the information you’re looking for so you’re not overwhelmed by details on your surroundings.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">FAVORITES<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Mark your saved places and Foursquare venues as Favorites and BlindSquare will always notify you once you reach them.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Favorites will be saved in iCloud and synced to all iOS devices for device consistency.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">VOICEOVER<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">BlindSquare uses Acapela voices in many different languages to announce information about your environment even when your device is tucked away for a hands-free experience.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">SOCIAL MEDIA<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you enjoy using Foursquare independently, authorize BlindSquare too access your account so you can check into your favorite venues by simply shaking your device.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Share your check-ins on Facebook, Twitter, or keep them private if you wish.<o:p></o:p></p>
