<h1>New app enables visually impaired users to use popular apps
with voice commands</h1>
<p>Imagine being able to fully control popular Apps and phone
functionality with just your voice. By just giving voice
commands, you can:</p>
<p>What is the app called?<br>
A new mobile app named ‘Louie Voice Control’ created by Pramit
Bhargava has been developed for blind and visually impaired
people. It enables visually impaired users to use popular apps
with just voice commands.</p>
<p>What are some of the functions of the app?<br>
Booking a Taxi<br>
Enjoy your favourite videos<br>
Send Text or Audio Messages, Share Audio & Video, Make Audio
& Video Calls<br>
Fully Manage your Contacts & Make Phone Calls<br>
Save new contacts, edit, delete & block contact number.</p>
<p>What was the inspiration for the app?<br>
Once, while seeking help from a sighted friend to book Uber,
Pramit got an idea. His friend kept asking him questions to make
selections in the app. In a couple of minutes, the booking was
done. “I wondered how empowering it would be for visually
impaired people if the phone features were to be read out,” says
Pramit who has been working on the app for the past three years.
The name Louie was taken from Louis Braille, inventor of
Braille.</p>
