Good thing for audio books, and text to speech advancement. Thought books are better for expanding vocabulary, and being able to see how the word is spelled.

Also a neat app for sighted people is "be my eyes", connect you with a person who is vision impared to help them read menus, get groceries, etc. So you can help them find what they need if say they want a certain type of milk/jam or other things

That's cool. I recently seen an ad for a visually impaired grocery store type deal were none of the goods were labeled trying to bring some attention to the blind communities struggle to do simple things like buy groceries

Ya im disappointed at how slow they are at upgrading certian intersections with the audio beeping for blind people. You hold the button and it makes a tone when its its not your time and when it is

When I was in Kalamazoo for college it had a large blind population. The beeping at every intersection threw me off along with a voice saying "safe to cross X street" down town.
