Rivo2 keyboard. You can find out info about the rivo keyboard at

with SmatVision2 phone?
Thanks, Stephen. Yes, I was intending that if I were to embark on trying this
app, then it would certainly be with headphones; but I'm still undecided at
this point, given the stress and frustration password entry causes already!

Keep in mind! The vOICe project is old! Another words this goes way
back to the old Nokia days when Talks screen reader was out along with
Mobile Speak screen reader for Symbian from the 2007 timeframe. For
you to get any idea of how this software works! For best results! Use
a set of stereo headphones. If you use the speaker on the phone! You
will not get the full affect do to the fact that SmartVision2 has a
mono speaker built in. With stereo headphones! You can hear the sound
move from left to right as it looks at the photo.
This software will not replace you being able to identify items like a
can of Coke over a can of pepci. It will not help you determine what a
playing card is like an Jack of hearts or quene of hearts.
If you want something to play with, then give it a shot! Like I said
use Stereo headphones for best results.
Now will it work on the old outdated SmartVision2 I don’t know. Parted
with mine over an year ago do to it just being so outdated and lack of
any updates for the USA market. As far as that goes, did a search and
looks like other dealers aren’t having any in stock. That is a good
things being it is 5 operating systems out of date now. Not to say how
slow it is and problemmatic as well with new software. Like being able
to even run it.

Hardware eventually fails, software eventually works.
No amount of bandwidth can fix poor design.

Hi Vivien,
Yes, you need to log into the Play Store on any device on which you
wish to install apps, unless you can find APK packages online which
are safe, as you did with BRLTTY. You don't need the Google Play store
if you do this.

Thanks, Sam. But would I need to re-install/add my Google account
on the SmartVision2, which I deleted after we spoke last time
about the frustration/stress I was having with entering passwords
on the phone etc? I had already installed The vOICe for Android
before that time, but hadn't embarked on learning it yet; but I've
never installed AIRA.

Hi Vivian,
I wasn't familiar with vOICe, but I can confirm that AIRA, as well
as BeMyEyes, both work well, and I have set these up with clients.
Thanks

Hi list,
Before I invest too much time/effort in either of these apps, I
wanted to ask if anyone is using/has used them with the
SmartVision2 phone and if so, how effectively/efficiently, given
the phone's caveates I've already discovered stemming from the
older (and highly customised) Android version, many apps requiring
the touchscreen etc? For those who don't know, The vOICe is an app
for rewiring/retraining the brain to see with sound, regardless of
whether one has had sight in the past or not, and their website is
at:
https://www.seeingwithsound.com/
They have versions for Windows, iOS and Android, and apparently
certain AR glasses work with the app too.
Insights greatly appreciated.
Regards
Vivien
