Step-Hear is an Audio-Guide Way-Finding system for blind and visually impaired indoors, outdoors, and in public transportation.
The system also provides assistance for people with other disabilities to remove some obstacles in their daily activities.
The Base unit is an Audio-Sign*, triggered when a user with the free Step-Hear App approaches – for audio guidance (from the audio-sign or app – according to the user's choice).
The accurate voice guidance is fit for the blind and visually impaired people:
Where exactly is the door, how to enter the building, which direction and how many steps to the elevators, the reception, the rest-rooms and other points of interest.
Outdoors: Which intersection did I reached, what is on the other side of the crosswalk, etc.

*The Audio-Sign is essential: it is used as an anchor for the visually impaired within the Bluetooth range - so that the voice guidance is the most correct and accurate.
