[NFB-DB] To the nfb deaf, blind division

[kendrick.deborah at gmail.com]

Leisa and all, 
The name of the app is OKO.  That's O K O. Just three letters.  
I personally have not yet experimented with it, but am hearing very positive responses from other blind people.  
I plan to do some testing Monday, so will share my thoughts here afterward.
Peace,
Deborah

Hi there,

I think that maybe you tried to dictate the name of this app and the way that it came out doesn't exist in the App Store. Will you please resend after typing it?

Thank you,



Leisa Sekhon

And you will either hear or feel the vibrations on when it is time to cross the street by the countdown. And it will vibrate to let you know if you’ve you’re too far to the left or too far to the right. To let you know to get back center of the crosswalk.
