FAQ
Can SmartVision be used without looking at the screen? Yes — designed exactly for this. Physical keyboard with tactile markings + speech synthesis on every touch + voice commands = complete phone use without any vision.
Difference between SmartVision3 OMNI and INITIUM? OMNI adds: KAPTEN vocal GPS (offline pedestrian navigation for blind users), OCR (reads printed text aloud), audiobook reader (ePub, Daisy, PDF). INITIUM has TalkBack, synthesis and voice commands without these three functions.
Can normal apps be installed on SmartVision? Yes — standard Android. All Play Store apps can be installed. Apps with good TalkBack support (Gmail, WhatsApp, Google Maps, Spotify) work excellently with speech synthesis.
