App of the Week

The vOICe is an app which takes advantage of sensory substitution to provide us with a great deal of independence, and we encourage you to take the time to learn and work with it. The app’s core purpose is to convert images into soundscapes, however it has many other useful features as well.

You can access the tutorial, learn about the developer, and find other platforms where you can use the vOICe. Visit the SeeingWithSound website to learn more about the vOICe.

Download the voICe from Google Play
Use the vOICe from a web browser from an iPhone or most other devices


To conclude this week's podcast, we had several emails which we went through and hopefully provided the answers you were seeking. The team would like to thank everyone that submits feedback and queries each and every week.
