Blind Communicator

OpenSource launcher for blind people for using smartphones and tablets. The launcher has a voice-guide that tells the user everything that it's happening in the device (screen off/on, rotation, incoming call, etc.). This launcher is compatible with TalkBack.

The app allows the user to:

  • Listen to music
  • Use a voice recorder
  • Send and receive SMS
  • Receive and make calls
  • Create and delete alarms
  • Create and delete contacts
  • Browse the web with Google engine as an a starting point

How to use it:

  • Slide up and down to browse the menus
  • Slide right to select an option

How can i type a message? You have four ways available:

  • Use your device keyboard
  • Use the voice recognition system with up to 10 possible interpretations to select from (may require Internet).
  • Use the touchscreen and slide up and down through characters and symbols and slide right to input the selected character.
  • Use the traditional software keyboard with TalkBack activated.

How to manage a call:

  • Slide up to answer the call
  • Slide down to end the call

TO UNINSTALL: Go to Settings/System Settings/Applications/Blind Communicator/Uninstall

NOTE 1: In Android 5.0 (Lollipop) or higher, you have to set the way you want to answer a call by going to Settings/Accessibility/Answering/ending calls.

NOTE 2: If you have a device with Android 4.4 (KitKat) or higher, you must set Blind Communicator as your App for messages. To do so, you must go to Settings/Default applications/Messages and then select Blind Communicator from the list. Also, you will need a TTS software installed in your device in order to this App to work. You can install, for example, Google TTS for free at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.tts.
