I have the experience of using the beep I cane. The biggest problem it has is the guarantee that it will not be severely warpedwhen left accidentally inside a pit or if someone tramples over it. Actually, I am slightly apprehensive about Icanes in general because the body of the cane, the tube, is often made extremely weak and so there is always the risk of being broken at a difficult situation.

As far as my understanding goes, right now they have released two models and one with beep and another has speech indicators. I am not sure if the speech is available in languages other than Kannada. I was also told it is being marketed by Indian Red Cross Society, Bangalore. Thanks & Regards, Ch.
