The vOICe seeing-with-sound software translates images
from a PC camera (webcam) into sounds that you hear via
your stereo headphones, thus targetting vision
substitution applications for the totally blind, and
even synthetic vision. Some blind people wear it daily
with a wearable setup to "see" their environment as
they go around, while other blind people (blind from
birth) use it to experience for the very first time
what vision is like. The vOICe uses pitch for height
and loudness for brightness in a left to right scan of
any view. Apart from using a webcam or equivalent video
capture device, images may also be imported from an
image file (Control O) or acquired with a flatbed
scanner (Control Q).
