RFID Enabled Audio Aids Sight Impaired

In Asia, Gaishan Technology innovates through the use of SkyeTek's RFID readers to improve the experience of the sight-impaired. RFID technology will enable the seeing-impaired to access information about the objects around them. ...

... "Gaishan produces the TellMate portable audio player, which is intended for those who have lost partial or total vision ability, including the legally blind, those with low vision and senior citizens. The TellMate incorporates an innovative system that allows users to access required information about their immediate surroundings without help from sighted. Gaishan is leveraging SkyeTek's technology to RFID-enable these audio devices, as speech-enabled labels will be attached to each item to help blind users easily identify and differentiate objects independently. Gaishan is also leveraging SkyeTek software and hardware to RFID-enable audio systems that will make learning much more fun and efficient as compared to the Braille method currently use. " ...
