> 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.

> 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
