Description App for Visually Impaired People
Abstract
Assistive technologies are tools and/or services that can guarantee accessibility to people with visual impairments in society. The aim of this work was to present the development of the "Description App for composition reading" (Barcode Speak) for people with visual impairment. The study was qualitative and exploratory in nature, based on scientific and technological data. The prototype was developed using the Java language. The results showed that Barcode Speak is capable of identifying and characterizing product packaging and labels, through barcodes and QR Codes, using the cell phones camera and similar devices for description. The app can offer more autonomy and independence to the visually impaired consumer for the product description exploration and previously marked objects, facilitating the daily and professional tasks performance, favoring social and citizen inclusion as a consumer.
