Your city speaks to you. Radio tags mounted at strategic points, such as intersections, traffic lights, bus stops, offices and even shops will show you where you are and how to move. LETIsmart VOCE will help you take buses and taxis and will remember your favorite routes. All this in a simple way, by just changing the handle of your white can.

How it’s made

LETIsmart VOCE is a light and ergonomic handle that you can replace on your white cane. It is connected via radio to a series of tagss that will be installed in your city. You can make it work by pressing two simple buttons. It talks to you through a speaker on the top of the handle or, if you prefer, you can connect it to your headphones.

Smart City

LETIsmart VOCE works thanks to a system of localizer tags installed around the city, in the most important places. These tags are able to talk to your LETIsmart VOCE. The more tagss your city decides to install, the easier it will be to move around independently.

The world now speaks to you

When you walk around the smart city, LETIsmart VOCE will vibrate to warn you that it is about to speak to you. It will notify you about proximity of intersections, traffic lights, bus stops and any other place where a signal has been installed, for example works in progress that prevent the passage.

Knowing where it is, exactly!

When LETIsmart VOCE tells you what you have around you, by pressing a button you can make the tags that are nearby ring out in order to locate them with precision.

It also allows you to remotely warn the driver that there is a visually impaired person at the stop, so that he pays more attention when he stops. LETIsmart VOCE also remembers the routes you usually take and only warns you when your bus arrives. It also works with taxis
