Description
BlindSquare is pioneering accessible navigation both indoors and outdoors. Know where you are, know where youre going, travel with confidence.
BlindSquare is a new solution that combines the latest technology to help the blind with their daily lives. It has been developed in collaboration with blind people and carefully field tested. You need either an iPhone or an iPad to get started. It also supports some additional accessories to enhance the experience.
How does it work?
BlindSquare uses GPS and the compass to locate you. It then gathers information about the surrounding environment from FourSquare. BlindSquare has some unique algorithms to decide what information is the most relevant and then speaks it to you with high quality speech synthesis.
“Whats the most popular café within 200 meters radius? Where is the post office or the library?”
You can control BlindSquare also through voice commands. The Voice Command feature is a premium service requiring purchase of credits for continuous use. Voice Command Credits are available as an in-app purchase on the App Store.
Using BlindSquare as a GPS solution:
When you start the app, it will start telling you the interesting places and street crossings around you. By changing the radius, you can limit the area you are interested in. You can also search by search term or by category. You can select an interesting place from the search results and perform the following tasks:
1) Get contact info (address, phone number)
2) Open twitter feed or restaurant menu (if provided)
3) Make a phone call
4) Start tracking the place (BlindSquare will assist you by repeating the distance and the clock face direction)
5) Start your favourite navigator for turn-by-turn instructions (TomTom, Navigon or Apple Maps)
BlindSquare is aware of when you travel by car, bus or train and starts to report interesting places in front of you (for example, the next stops) and street crossings when you are passing them.
You can also save your own private places to iCloud so they will be found with your every device.
Using BlindSquare as a Foursquare client:
If you like to play Foursquare, you can do the following with BlindSquare:
1) Get a list of nearby FourSquare venues
2) When you are in a place, you can check in by shaking your device
3) Do a check in with commenting and twitter/facebook sharing
4) Correct the location of the place
BlindSquare supports the following languages: English, Arabic, Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean (South Korea), Norwegian, Polish, Portugues, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Swedish and Turkish.
VoiceOver usage is supported but it also includes higher quality additional speech synthesis by Acapela Text-To-Speech from Acapela Group.
Instructions in English: https://www.blindsquare.com/user-guide/ and https://www.blindsquare.com/faq/
Please note: This app retrieves data in real time from Foursquare and Open Street Map. Use of a flat rate data plan is highly recommended.
Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
Having only been released in May 2012, BlindSquare has already received several prizes and awards:
- GSMA: Global Mobile Awards 2013, Best Mobile Health Product or Service
- Apps4Finland 2012
- OpenCities App Challenge 2012
- The Finnish Information Processing Association: Best Product 2012
Please note: To use BlindSquare, your iCloud account has to be active so BlindSquare can access it to save your settings and places.

Indispensable
Application très utile pour les non-voyants
Fan de Blind Square, je lutilise fréquemment pour avoir des informations sur mon environnement durant mes déplacements ou pour préparer un voyage. Japprécie ses mises à jour régulières, qui laméliorent au fil du temps pour mieux répondre à nos besoins. Vu le prix et la qualité de cette application, la traduction française de laide et de son interface - travail considérable sans lequel je serais incapable dutiliser cet outil - mériterait toutefois une relecture attentive pour corriger les fautes dorthographe, daccords et certaines formulations.
Oldukça başarılı
Arayüzü çok temiz; kolay kullanılabilir ve geniş vir yardımı var. Yarıçap tarama özelliği başarılı. Ben özellikle navigon ve google haritalarla konbine etmeye çalışıyorum
Восхитительно!
Супер приложение! Спасибо! Обнимаю!
Needs work
First, the English documentation is poorly organized, and obviously poorly translated from something else. Its hard to use given this quality of documentation. Next, the quality of the map data is rather poor; they use Open Street Map, but perhaps should have used freely available Google map data. Theres no way to submit any map data corrections. Its helpful, but hard to learn and hard to use.
Lifesaver
This app is fantastic. Im a blind college freshman, and blind square helps me navigate the campus. My independent traveling has become much more reliable. lol
Great app
This app is very user-friendly if your blind and its very affordable. I would recommend it for anyone.
