<DIV class=WordSection1>
<P class=MsoNormal>Hi Ms. Brown,<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I work with TCS Associates in Rockville, MD and we are in the
process of creating a new app and service called Visual Access which is designed
for individuals who are blind or have low vision. The app will give users
access to visual assistance 24 hours a day by connecting them with a
professionally trained visual agent via the camera on their iDevice. Users
can upload pictures from their camera roll, take pictures during the call, or
use a real-time video feed to show agents their surroundings. Some of the
scenarios we envision Visual Access being used in are reading street signs,
mail, or food labels, identifying items at home or in a store, and indoor
navigation.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>We are currently in the testing phase and are looking for
beta testers. Anne Taylor, the Director of Access Technology with NFB,
suggested we reach out to the local NFB chapter presidents to see if you had
suggestions on individuals who might be interested in testing for us.
Testers must live in the continental US, have an iDevice running iOS 7, and be
willing to give at least 1-3 hours a week. We would like to test the app
with a variety of users. In particular, we are still in need of young
adults or seniors and people of any age group who have low vision, are newly
blind, or are new to VoiceOver.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Let me know if you have any questions or know anyone who
might be interested in testing. I can be reached at 240-242-5779 or <A
