Seeing with sound - now on your mobile camera phone!
You can now use your camera phone as a mobile text and barcode scanner. For free!
The vOICe camera-based visual sound technology for the totally blind is now available for most Java-enabled camera phones and PDAs! Free! The main Java requirement is Java ME (J2ME) MIDP-2.0 & MMAPI compliance. Moreover, The vOICe is expected to be future proof and run on all future Mobile Service Architecture (MSA, JSR-248) compliant mobile devices that fully support camera input and audio output for rendering the live audio map (pixelated acoustic map), and should run on all future JavaFX Mobile compliant phones.
The vOICe MIDlet software already runs on both Symbian and non-Symbian devices. Apart from the Nokia 6600 and Sony Ericsson K700i, it runs on the Nokia 3230, 5500, 6620, 6630, 6670, 6680, 6682, 7610, 9500, E50, E51, N70, N73, N82, N93 and N95, and likely also on the Nokia 6681, 7710, E61i, N90, N91, N92, 6131, the Samsung Z500 series, and many other MIDP-2.0 & MMAPI (JSR-135) compliant devices of various brands. It also runs on the older MIDP-1.0 & MMAPI compliant Nokia 3600, Nokia 3620, Nokia 3650 and Nokia 3660. The software even includes a talking color identifier, such that you can point the camera of your Java-enabled smartphone or PDA to any item of interest and hear the color name spoken.
