Kurosh You have wonderful ideas. If the first try was not successful, try again with another idea or the same idea with improvements. Don't fall in the first try. You know the requirements for blind people. You know now what the android target is.
You are a winner if you can help this people. You are a winner if you application run on android. Receive a “Thank you” from this people is the best prize that you could receive. Make a fusion for both needs and you will increase the chance to get a better position or a winner position in ADCII. I’m not a judge to evaluate this, sorry. For example: 1.- blind people use a dog as guide for traffic, obstacles and many other things, but the dog doesn't understand directions. 2.- contact plusminus and his excellent AndNav, offer him a partnership to incorporate a voice command triggered by position on street and accelerometers to guide blind people to find address by walk. You know better than many of us the requirements for this people. Search for partners to improve your ideas. javqui On May 19, 4:38 am, kurosh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > If anyone thinks it is not a totally worthless solution, feel free to > contact me. > > KDF Infotechwww.kdfinfotech.com > > On May 19, 1:20 pm, kurosh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > Here is a link on how difficult if not impossible it is for the blind > > to write.
