In this episode of AppleVis Extra, Thomas Domville talks with Jianfeng Wu about VoiceVista, an iOS app that is essential for the blind and low vision community.
VoiceVista is based on Microsoft’s discontinued and open-source project Soundscape and is licensed under the MIT License. The app uses cutting-edge iOS audio technology and precise location services to help people develop a greater awareness of their surroundings, providing comfort in unfamiliar spaces, and supporting individuals in creating mental maps and making personal route choices.
VoiceVista is available for download on the App Store and can be used on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices. The app has received positive reviews from users, with many praising its accessibility features and ease of use.
The developer of VoiceVista, Jianfeng Wu, has done an outstanding job in creating this app and has made a significant contribution to the blind and low vision community. Jianfeng is also actively seeking feedback from users to help improve the app.

that is a developers right
They don't have to develop for android that is their choice. If Android Talk Back were more feature rich maybe these devs would develop for Android. The fact is Android is still very far behind VoiceOver.
OMG
This man is a genius. I can’t believe he made this application only a month after he started work on it.
By the way I think that today voice vista works with Apple Maps and Google maps as well.
Re: Gees i was just saying
@Joshua But you yourself started it! And it does exist for several reasons...
This App Sounds Good
Pun literally intended! I've had some time to kill this evening, so just listened to the interview. Thanks as always guys for doing a wonderful job. I'm probably going to check out the app. I think I have somewhat of an understanding now about the difference between GPS and a compass, thanks to the replies on another post from me on the site. Having said all that though, I'm wondering if I'd be better off sticking with just one 3rd-party app at least until I get the hang of this stuff. For the record I haven't had formal O&M training for ages, and tbh it has held me back somewhat.
