Blind user wearing The vOICe
This blind lady wears The vOICe daily, here "seeing" with a covert "spy camera" hidden inside her special video sunglasses. The notebook PC running The vOICe software is inside her backpack.
Here she is finding her trash container, which got carelessly tossed by a city worker after it was picked up.

This group mainly targets blind users of The vOICe as well as blind and sighted people having a general interest in The vOICe technology and its possible applications for the blind. Group description:

This group is for discussing the vision technology for the totally blind known as The vOICe (written with capitals O I C in "vOICe"). The vOICe converts images and video from a camera into corresponding sounds. Blind users in particular are welcome to report their experiences, and ask and answer questions. Hopefully this group will evolve into a lively user forum where more experienced blind users help new users. Discussion on alternative sensory substitution technologies (e.g. BrainPort) as well as retinal implants (e.g. Argus II, Prima) and brain implants (e.g. Orion I) is welcome, and in fact encouraged in the context of open benchmarking and informed decision making. The overarching theme is artificial vision for the blind.

After subscribing and registering with FreeLists, you can  change your settings to receive postings either as e-mail (the default) or in digest form. The easiest way to post your message to the group is to send it as e-mail to seeingwithsound@freelists.org. So this works exactly the same as sending an e-mail to a friend, only now your message gets distributed to all the members of the seeingwithsound user group. Messages from the seeingwithsound user group automatically get the prefix "[The vOICe]" in the subject line to help the recipients identify where the message came from. You can leave the group at any time by sending a blank e-mail with subject line "unsubscribe" (without the quotes) to seeingwithsound-request@freelists.org, and rejoin later.

Thank you for your interest in The vOICe technology! We hope that you will enjoy the visual experience.



If using the FreeLists website to change settings is problematic for you, you can change your subscription to digest mode by sending a blank message with subject line "set digest" (without the quotes) to seeingwithsound-request@freelists.org and change your subscription back to individual e-mails by sending a blank message with subject line "unset digest" (without the quotes) to seeingwithsound-request@freelists.org. Similarly, you can turn "vacation" mode (no e-mail) on or off by sending a blank message with subject line "set vacation" or "unset vacation" (without the quotes) to seeingwithsound-request@freelists.org.
