> 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. Product
