Good for Miss Oriana! And she's only 6 weeks old, right?  Sounds like a 
determined one.

>> 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.
