Hi,
Well that pretty much has assured that I'll buy it. I've wanted something
to announce upcoming street crossings for me and an easy to hear voice would
be nice too.
Thanks for the help,
Tammy

Hi Tammy
Yes blind square announces street crossings automatically. You don't have to
push a button to hear it.
It uses its own text to speech voice. Mine is British English. It's very
easy to hear.

Hi,
Does blindsquare announce the street crossings as you come to them
automaticly or do you have to press a button to see what street you're
about to cross? Also, does it just use voiceover or can you get a text to
speech voice giving you direction? I often find that the voiceover voice
is hard ot hear when I'm walking and have the phone in a pocket or
similar, or if I'm in a louder environment.

Hi
The reason I use blind square is because it gives lots of POIs here in New
Zealand, which Ariadne doesn't. Ariadne is really good at giving street
numbers, and at saying exactly where you are now, but here in NZ it
doesn't give any pois. Blind Square chatters away and gives pois plus
tracks your target in terms of the clock face. I have found it really
accurate here. Both apps do different things.
I don't know how well Ariadne works where you are though,so can't tell
whether Blind Square would give more pois than ariadne for you.

Hi,
Since you use both ariadne as well as blind square, can you tell me what
the advantages to having blindsquare are over Ariadne?? I'm trying to
figure out whether I could use blind square, and therefore justify the 14
dollar price tag.
Thanks,
Tammy

Hi Mel
I use navagon, ariadne and blind square. All available from the app
store. NOt free though, sorry.
I use Color Visor which is excellent.
The money readers around don't support New Zealand currency so I don't
use one. I'm told Look Tell is very good. just search for Looktell and
find their money reader.
Good luck.
