>>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
>>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.
