Description of App

Description from the AppStore
The TimeBuzz app makes it possible to feel the current time through vibrations of the Taptic Engine on the Apple Watch. The app is designed especially for visually impaired people. With this app you can discretely get to know the current time without the need for the time to be pronounced.

The app translates the time into a pattern of long and short vibrations whereby it will first buzz the hours and then the minutes. In between every sequence of vibrations there will be a short pause to be able to separate the hours and minutes from each other.

Open the accompanying app on the iPhone for more information and an explanation of the buzz patterns. Or visit the website www.timebuzz.nl for useful tips to make the app even easier to use.

The app is fully VoiceOver accessible and developed in collaboration with the Bartiméus Sonneheerdt Association, Bartiméus Foundation and Royal Visio in The Netherlands.

OH so do I. I wish the speed could be varried, that is pattern to pause. Like if it could be where you have it set to 15wpm the speed would be faster in telling time. I am not using the cw method by the way, not yet.
