Question about voicing feedback (self.Blind)
submitted by tessawegman
Hello, I'm a student working on a design project for developing a device to assist visually impaired individuals on selecting their clothing for the day and navigating articles of clothing. I'm curious on the ideal audio feedback that would be wanted for a device like this? The apps I've come across have really computer-generated, Siri like voices. Is this a problem? I had a difficult time even understanding the feedback given. I'm looking for opinions from visually impaired individuals on what the ideal audio feedback would be for a device that would be incorporated into everyday life. Thank you!!!

I dont care really what kind of voice it has as long as it speaks clearly , I am also slightly hearing impaired and even Siri sometimes gives me trouble understanding what she says

What will your device do? We already have audio labelers and color recognition devices. Some work with the user's own voice some are more like Siri.

I won’t be actually creating the device, my project is focused on the research and development of an idea. Is there certain limitations the audio labelers and color recognition devices have that could be improved?

Patterns of multiple colours. Think Hawaiian shirt, or stripes. The scanners usually just do an average of the colours, but that can wildly change depending on where you scan.

Google TTS is quite pleasant to listen to, especially UK English.
