Download Free/Trial Version Of The vOICe Learning Edition
The vOICe seeing-with-sound software translates images from a PC camera (webcam) into sounds that you hear via yourstereo headphones, thus targetting sensory substitution applications for the totally blind, and even synthetic vision. Some blind people wear itdaily with a wearable setup to "see" their environment as they go around, while other blind people (blind from birth) use it to experience for thevery first time what vision is like. The vOICe uses pitch for height and loudness for brightness in a left to right scan of any view. Apart fromusing a webcam or equivalent video capture device, images may also be imported from an image file (Control O) or acquired with a flatbedscanner (Control Q).
