Digit-Eyes Audio Labeling System
The Digit-Eyes Audio Labeling System in an iPhone application to assist people with substantial vision loss in recognizing and labeling the important items in their lives.  Priced at $29.99, the Digit-Eyes phone app gives users a simple way to make custom labels for everyday items and identifies packaged goods, joining advanced software
with the iPhone, the Internet, home computers, printers, and inexpensive off-the-shelf labels. People of almost any visual ability can now put groceries away and grab the right prescription bottle independently.
Users can print custom text labels or record audio labels that they make by scanning specially coded labels and speaking into their phones.  They attach the labels to household items, and the messages are played back whenever the codes are rescanned with their iPhones. This Digit-Eyes app can also scan manufacturer codes (UPC, EAN, ISBN) and say what’s inside the package after checking the vast Digit-Eyes product database.
