University of Nairobi mobile phone services for the visually impaired

natecow | 02 February, 2009 05:24

UoNThe School of Computing and Informatics (SCI) at the University of Nairobi has recently started a collaboration with the Kenya Society for the Blind (KSB) in an effort to develop innovative mobile phone services for local visually impaired people (VIP). In this project, EPROM faculty members are attempting to empower VIPs through the development and deployment of mobile phone applications designed specifically for physically disadvantaged Kenyans. Functionality of these new applications include a text-to-speech tool that converts the text in a received SMS or printed text (captured from the phone’s camera) into an audio file which is played back to the VIP.
