Vision Through Sound
Pending display name
We aim to enable visually impaired people to participate fully in community activities via Zoom, where they can learn new skills, share theirs, build confidence and lessen isolation.
About this cause
We enable visually impaired people to participate in their local community by training them to use all kinds of technology, including the 'In Your Pocket' phone, talking iPhones and talking computers. This then empowers people to have the confidence to achieve more.
How this cause brings people in the community together
The In Your Pocket phone is fully voice operated and has voice output so that visually impaired people can communicate easily by phone and text. They can also stream thousands of audio books, podcasts and radio stations keeping them informed of current events, helping them feel included. They can join in with Zoom meetings and conversations to reduce isolation and aid their mental health.
