Accessibility for People with Blindness, Visual Impairment or Mobility Disability

1 March 2021 by Jeremy Ungar

Israeli company and app: Step-Hear is an audio-guide wayfinding system for blind and visually impaired people. It works indoors, outdoors, and on public transportation. It assists people with mobility disabilities to remove some obstacles in their daily activities.

The system combines a free application (or personal wrist-activator) that automatically activates Step-Hear’s unique audio signs.

If you know of any entities that could supply or distribute Step-Hear in Australia or New Zealand, we would love to learn about them and connect them with Step-Hear in Israel.

You can get an idea about the system in the short video – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0J2O6dpR_uo.

Technology Gives a Voice to Those with Speech Disabilities

Based on machine learning and speech recognition algorithms, the AI-powered Voiceitt platform is designed to recognize and translate speech by people with an underlying medical condition, disability or age-related condition that means their speech is hard to understand. The Voiceitt platform is web-based, which means that it can be accessed from any internet-connected device without having to download a program or app. It works either as voice to text or voice to synthesized speech, with the latter allowing the user to speak in person in real time, as part of a face-to-face conversation, or in a virtual, online meeting. https://nocamels.com/2024/01/ai-technology-gives-a-voice-to-those-with-speech-disabilities/

Self rostering increases volunteers ability to help out.

Self rostering has led to a quadrupling of volunteers at Bermagui Surf Life Saving Club. Could this work elsewhere?https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-02-03/bermagui-surf-life-saving-club-increases-volunteers/103399690?
