Sophie,
I know Navigon does turn-by-turn, as does Kapten GPS, although I
don't know if either of these have a walking mode like the Trekker Breeze or
the Sendero GPS for the BrailleNote. Supposedly Sendero has been working
with The Seeing Eye on developing a GPS app for iOS like their GPS software
for notetakers which is expected to be out in early 2013.
On a different note, have you heard anything from the Nick News
people as to when our episode will air? If you'd like, you can email me
off-list about that.
Happy New Year,
Chris

Lavonya, this isn't a complete list of apps for the blind--it's just the
ones I use and am most familiar with.
Aid Colors: very accurate color identifier Looktell Money Reader: Again,
very accurate.
Saytext: This is an OCR scanner for the iPhone.
RizWiz: This app is cool because it's run by live people, not a computer.
You snap a picture of the object you want to identify, then record a
question. Picture and question are sent to a living person, who then answers
it. This allows you to get more specific with your question than you could
with a computer-run app.
I would like to know of any GPS apps that do turn by turn navigation because
I'm not very good at getting around and will need that. Hope this helps, and
hope everyone had a good New Year's Eve!

Lavonya,
unfortunately, all braille displays are expensive! Most of them are almost
2000 dollars, even small displays.
I wish they were half that price so a working blind person could afford
them. But an entry level sallary is about 30 thousand so this is hard to
afford even if you have a job.
If you are a student, vr may purchase a braille display if you justify a
reason for it though.

Oh and RefreshaBraille 18 is a great bluetooth keyboard for the iPhone and
helps you get around the touch screen.

What is BlindSquare?
I use Ariadne GPS and it is great for looking around and getting your
location or distance from a bookmarked point of interest, but it doesn't
give turn-by-turn directions. Navigon might but I'm not sure how accessible
it is.

Terri,
Probably the best money identifier app is the LookTel money reader.
For color identifying, try color ID free. And for GPS, try Navigon or
Kapten GPS. Sendero Look Around is a good app for finding points of
interest, although it doesn't have a built-in GPS. If you have any
questions about the iPhone as you start using it, please feel free to
contact me. Happy new year!

Hello, both my husband and I are totally blind. We recently acquired
two versions of I-phone, an I-phone 3 and a 4 S. We also recently acquired
a Refreshabraille 18. I am struggling with the touch screen, but my
husband is always a wiz with technology. Since this is very new to us, will
you all recommend some high quality apps for a money identifier, a color
identifier, and a GPS that are very usable for blind people who are new to
the I-phone? Thanks for any assistance you can give.
Sincerely,
Terri Wilcox
