WalkAssist recognizes traffic related objects(crosswalk signal, crosswalk, and traffic signals) and alerts you through voice alerts. Use it with a harness for the best results. The voice will only work if your ringer is on. It is not a substitute for your orientation and mobility skills. It does not replace you current mobility aid, but is rather intended to act as an additional aid to enhance your orientation and navigation skills. Please be aware of your surroundings while using the app. It is your responsibility to maintain your personal safety at all times while using WalkAssist.
Audio doesn’t work
Hi. I’ve tried downloading it again as well as making sure I have audio for my phone up. Ring tones are sounding- but no audio despite how I hold it (landscape or portrait). Any ideas?
Wonderful to have new options being developed
There are times when there is no traffic to attend to to know when the pedestrian phase is active, times when accessible pedestrians signals (APS) are not available, and times there are no other pedestrians to solicit information and assistance from. So glad this app is being developed to allow the use of AI to access signal information. Developers continue working to make improvements for consistency, reliability, and ease of use.
An excellent tool to aid in crossing streets
This would get 5 stars if it could be used in portrait mode, which is coming, but it is an excellent tool now! It reliably tells you if a traffic signal indicates walk or don't walk. Where there is no lights, it can identify a crosswalk. AS always, it doesn't replace good basic orientation and mobility skills but is another tool like a cane or dog guide.
