A fantastic idea with real commercial value. I hope this idea comes to fruition as I strongly believe it can be of real benefit to the millions of visually impaired people worlwide.

Thanks guys.

This type of accessibility information doesn’t even exist at the moment, let alone made available to the visually impaired.

It brings together existing technologies and combines them in creating a new resource of valuable information and offers a new method of accessing it.

As such, the technology to provide this group of users with such information is readily available yet companies are not offering such services.

Also thanks to Carl Martin for blogging about this over at his website Mobile Advertising Matters.
