[NABS-L] WeWALK Blind Friendly Navigation App

[Atakan Nalbant]

Hello,

I’m reaching out because I would like to share information about our
free WeWALK mobile application, which is available for immediate
download on both iOS and Android devices. WeWALK is the all-in-one
platform to get you from one place to another and to explore the world
around you, designed for and by the visually impaired. Get guided
navigation, find out about nearby points of interest, and access
public transportation. With multiple exciting features that work in
harmony with one another, think of WeWALK as the Swiss Army Knife of
visually impaired travel apps.

A. Navigation

You no longer have to use multiple navigation apps to get to your
destination. WeWALK offers multiple features to simplify your
navigation experience including clock directions, low vision friendly
maps, and detailed guided instruction for the visually impaired.

To get turn-by-turn navigation, just search for a location or address
and with a simple touch of a button, you’ll be on your way to your
destination. The WeWALK app allows you to focus your attention on the
road without constantly having to check your phone to find out if
you’re going in the correct direction.

B. What’s Around Me?

There have probably been instances when you were walking down the
street and wondered about all the places that you’ve been passing by.

Wonder no more with WeWALK’s new Location Discovery mode, which
announces nearby points of interests as you’re walking along.

You can also explore what’s around you without moving at all. Use the
"What's around me?" feature in the menu options to view a list of
nearby points of interest around you such as restaurants, shops,
entertainment, and more.

C. Public Transport

WeWALK helps you freely explore with its public transport service
that’s available in more than 1500 cities across the world.

Use the app to learn about nearby public transport stops and timetables.

D. Accessible Interface

The WeWALK interface is designed to be fully compatible with screen
readers. In addition, the screens have been optimized for people with
low vision through adjustable color options and text sizes.

E. Connection with WeWALK Smart Cane

We understand that walking while managing a white cane in one hand and
a phone in the other can be quite challenging.

Challenge accepted! The WeWALK app connects with the WeWALK smart
cane, allowing you to conveniently control various operations such as
navigation via the smart cane. This enables you to use the WeWALK
app’s features with the convenience of being able to leave your phone
in your pocket. In addition, we offer a more precise navigation
experience thanks to the WeWALK smart cane’s built-in sensors.

Last but certainly not least, the smart cane has a useful obstacle
detection feature that can assist you with identifying upcoming
obstacles at head level, providing a safer walking experience.

Note: You can use these features on the WeWALK app without the WeWALK
smart cane. However, with the WeWALK smart cane, you’ll be able to
experience more precise guidance and the benefits of obstacle
detection.

We hope you’ll consider trying our app; we’ve received a lot of
positive feedback from the WeWALK user community and would love to
hear your thoughts after you’ve had a chance to try it out. Let’s
WeWALK and explore together.
