The vOICe for Windows (The vOICe Learning Edition)version 1.94 for Windows-95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, XP, Vista, Windows 7, 8 and Windows 10
What does it do?The vOICe for Windows translates arbitrary video images from a regular PC camera into sounds. This means that you can 'see' with your ears, whenever you want to. Now step beyond your computer screen and screen reader and try this camera-based 'scene reader'. With a netbook, tablet or notebook PC you can even go mobile. How well you can learn to interpret the image sounds is something that only you can find out, but now you can indeed find out and learn through thissoftware, for free! At the very least you may feel more connected to your visual environment. To whatextent seeing with sound will not only find practical uses but through extensive usage also lead to visual or vision-like experiences is not known. Will you be among the pioneers? It is not for the faint of heart: just like in learning a foreign language,or mastering a musical instrument, or learning to read Braille by touch, at least months of training effort should be expected before it begins to feel second nature.
Is it an augmented reality game or a serious tool? It can be both, dependingon what you want it to be. Some blind people wear it daily with a wearable setup to see/hear their environment as they go around, while other blind people (blind from birth) use it to experience for the very first time what vision is like,and thus learn more about vision through uncensored first-hand experience.Some late-blind people use it to refresh their memories of what things looked like.Still others use it to read charts, drawings or graphs.You decide. Blind people using or interested in using The vOICe can also join The vOICeuser group (mailing list),listen to a twelve-minute MP3 streaming audio demonstration of The vOICe by blind presenter Jonathan Mosen on ACB Radioin June 2000, or listen to the personal experiences of Pat Fletcher, one of the firstblind users of The vOICe, in a twenty-three minute presentation at the Tucson 2002 conferenceand in a twenty-two minute feature in the CBC Radio Onescience program Quirks & Quarks of April 2005. Congenitally blind user Pranav Laltalks about his use of The vOICe in an Infotech Audio Magazineinterview in June 2007,while early blind user Brian Shaw talks about his use of The vOICe in a WYPL radio interviewin January 2008. In June 2012, Brian Shaw and Pranav Lal gave an extensive interactive presentationon The vOICe at the Cisco Academy for the Vision Impaired (CAVI).
Video clips: TechTV (US television, 2002), WDR/3Sat (German television, 2003), Teleac/NOT (Dutch television, 2004), Channel 10 (Israeli television, 2009).
How does it work? There are three simple rules in the general image to sound mapping of greyscale camera images, each rule dealing with one fundamentalaspect of vision: rule 1 concerns left and right, rule 2 concerns up and down, and rule 3 concerns dark and light. The actual rules of the game are
- Left and Right.
Video is sounded in a left to right scanning order, by default at arate of one image snapshot per second. You will hear the stereo soundpan from left to right correspondingly. Hearing some sound on yourleft or right thus means having a corresponding visual pattern on yourleft or right, respectively.
- Up and Down.
During every scan, pitch means elevation: the higher the pitch, thehigher the position of the visual pattern. Consequently, if the pitchgoes up or down, you have a rising or falling visual pattern,respectively.
- Dark and Light.
Loudness means brightness: the louder the brighter. Consequently,silence means black, and a loud sound means white, and anything inbetween is a shade of grey.
In other words, The vOICe scans each camera snapshot from left to right, while associatingheight with pitch and brightness with loudness.All of this means, for example, that a straight bright line on a dark background, running from the bottom left to the top right, sounds as a tone steadily increasing in pitch: ooiieep. Two bright lines givetwo tones. Three distinct bright dots sound as three short beeps, and so on. Although the rules are simple, real-life images often give verycomplex sounds, because there is so much to be seen. The vOICe for Windows generates 'soundscapes' with a 176 × 64 resolution by default, thereby making it roughly comparable to a retinal implant or brain implantwith 10,000 electrodes.plain text mini-tutorial
Example sounds: Because of the generality of the approach, applications can be as varied as orientation with respect to a wall with a gate or reading a purely graphical oscilloscope display.On this site you can also find sound samples in MP3 format, further illustrating visual orientation,seeing/hearing a printed graph,a parked car, theUS flag, the planet Saturnor an Access Symbol,and even watching television. The vOICe indeed offersyou universal accessibility!
The vOICe for Windows can be used for many educational purposes, for instance by providing full access to graphs and figures in books, to graphics displayed on a computerscreen or to traces of an oscilloscope. You simply point the camera to anythingof interest and move the camera around to listen to whatever comes in view. In using a head-mounted camera, it can be used to learn good posture and gait, avoiding head drooping. The vOICe for Windows offers a unique and rich learning experience.In mobile usage, it is advised to practise extensively in a safe,familiar home environment. Obviously it may seem that it is then only telling you whatyou already know, but interpretation for extended situational awareness first needs to become second nature and become integrated with your other senses - including yournatural hearing and touch.
Try it for yourself!

The vOICe for Windows is not about some sonar device: you can see/hear any visual item, including photographs, drawings, signs, or pictograms. In fact, every visual shape gives a correspondingly unique sound, and The vOICe for Windows lets you see/hear visual perspective, doorways, buildings, trees, furniture, or.. you name it!It may also serve as a warning system to help people with severe tunnel vision (e.g., due toRetinitis Pigmentosa, or caused by laser treatments of diabetic retinopathy) or hemianopia(visual field loss, e.g., due to stroke), by getting auditory feedback on changes in thevisual periphery insofar as these occur within the camera view. Thus one may detect itemsof potential interest (e.g., obstacles or door posts) that might otherwise be missed for lack of peripheral vision. Upon hearing sound pattern changes, one may redirect the gazeand use normal central vision to determine what is causing those changes, and then reactor ignore.Color identification is included as well,using human speech to turn The vOICe system into a kind of 'talking camera'.
How to install: Basically, you just
- Connect any webcam to your PC after installing its drivers.
- Download The vOICe for Windows software, and run it.
The vOICe software will automatically detect your camera and you can then immediatelysee/hear the live view from your camera via your stereo headphones. That's all there isto it! The vOICe supports a highly modular approach in both hardware and software: youchoose the hardware/software combination that serves your interests best while matchingyour budget.

The download is less than 1 MB in size, and contains no spyware, adware or other malware.The vOICe for Windows software can if desired be run directly from a USB stick, such that you can run it on any PC without installation. See the update history if you are considering downloading an upgrade from an earlier version. If you experience problems in running this software, pleaseread the FAQ.Specifically, newer cameras increasingly often require MJPEG supportthat must be installed separately. You can read a few accounts written by blind users of this software,and read some self-training suggestions.The vOICe can be used in combination with a screen reader like the free NVDAor the commercial JAWS and Window-Eyesscreen readers.See also The vOICe plain text mini-tutorial.

- Microsoft Windows:The vOICe for Windows software runs under Microsoft Windows-95, Windows-98,Windows Millennium, Windows NT 4.0, Windows-2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, 8 and Windows 10 (64-bit).Note: although The vOICe software runs on many versions of Microsoft Windows, some brandsor types of PC cameras may be designed to run only with a subset of these operating system versions. Therefore, before buying a PC camera, please make sure that it indeed has an appropriate driver for your operating system by checking the vendor'scamera specifications.

- PC camera compatible with Microsoft 'Video for Windows' (VfW). Almost all regular USB webcams are fine,including those that support the newer Microsoft WDM standard, because WDM contains a wrapperfor the Video for Windows standard. Note that only one video application can use a camera at any given time, so you may need to quit any other video application software that comes with your camera, or elseThe vOICe will report that it cannot connect to your camera.A currently recommended and affordable head-mounted camera solution is the useof USB camera glasses with webcam function.These are video sunglasses that offer a consistent alignment of the camera with the head by having the tiny camera hidden in the nose bridge of sunglasses. The camera canotherwise function as a regular USB webcam, and the sunglasses form factor ensures an unobtrusive appearance.In all cases, use of a head-mounted camera is strongly recommended for most consistentsensory feedback, while use of a wide-angle lens makes it easier to maintain a mental map of the environment. Whether you are blind or not, beware of possible legal and security implications of buying and wearing a (concealed) camera in your country. The relevant laws differ per country.
- Computer: a 300 MHz or faster netbook, tablet or notebook PCis recommended, with 1 GHz or faster for best results. Regular desk-top PC's are also fine for a first evaluation,but then you obviously cannot walk around with it to immersively experience the intended full interactivity of seeing with sound. A backpack with a netbook or tablet will easily weigh much less than the 10-15 percent ofbody weight that is often quoted as a safety guideline for school children's backpack load( APTA).Make sure that your PC includes
- A regular soundcard, and stereo headphones. Do not use loudspeakers, nor 5.1 surround headphones,because The vOICe sounds are designed and rendered for normal headphones. To minimize obstruction of environmental sounds - also for compatibility with echolocation - you can consider wearing AfterShokz bone conduction headphones, or AirDrives.However, you can also wear regular open headphones just above or just behind your ears to much the same effect.
- Suitable connectors for a PC camera. Most popular are currently USB cameras.
The netbook, tablet or notebook PC can be used running in a backpack if sufficient ventilation is ensured.
Just to give you a concrete idea as a starting point, without necessarily implying that this is the best choice: an actual mobile setup may consist of any netbook or tabletrunning inside a well-vented backpack, supplemented byUSB camera glasses, wide-angle lens,and a stereo audio headset.Many other configurations are possible. YouTube video clips of training during SBIR phase I evaluation study on The vOICe by MetaModal LLC Cost indication: depending on your personal trade-offs between speed, size,weight, battery life and your budget, cost of a new netbook or tablet may landin the $300 to $800 range. This will usually be the biggest cost factor, to whichyou should for a wearable setup add, say, a $50 backpack, $50 USB camera glasses and $25 stereo headphones or ear buds. A complete netbook-based mobile setup may thus be assembled under $500! Note: the netbook, tablet or notebook PC can obviously be used for many purposesother than wearing The vOICe, so its cost should not be attributed solely to The vOICe. |

The vOICe for Windows software fully integrates visual input from your digital PC camera (webcam, or video sunglasses with video capture device) with auditory output to your stereo headphones, while taking advantage of much improved synthetic vision processing through real-time audio and video processing algorithms, optimized for use on modern notebook PC's. Video frames are scanned from left to right. Object elevation simply becomes pitch: the higher the object, the higher the pitch. The brighter an object, the louder its sound.With the new hifi stereo output, objects on the left or right also sound on the left or right, respectively.You can mute The vOICe for Windows at any moment with one button-press,e.g. to better hear traffic noise forsafety, or just when you are talking to someone, or when you prefer silence, orambient sounds and sound shadows. The same button immediately reactivates The vOICefor Windows when pressed another time.
If you own a modern PC, then probably only the PC camera forms a new addition toyour hardware, since the other items are nowadays already quite common with multimediaPC's. Suitable PC cameras nowadays sell at less than $50, although one can of coursealways get better quality and more convenience at a higher price. If you already haveaccess to a notebook PC and want to find out if The vOICe technology really is for you,you can start out very cheap by creating your own home-made setup, with a regular webcam mounted on a hat or helmet to make for an affordable 'wearable webcam'.Make sure that the PC camera of your choice fits your computer configuration and checkthat you have an appropriate video driver installed as described in your PC camera manual,or The vOICe for Windows (or any other PC camera software for that matter) will notrecognize your PC camera. Ask your computer dealer to advise and help you, if necessary.
If you experience problems, please read the Frequently Asked Questionspage to check if you can find the solution there. If you find any bugs or glitches in The vOICe for Windows, please report. However, positive reports are also very welcome!Good results cannot be guaranteed, but much effort will be spent to makeimprovements wherever possible, based on your feedback. Have fun exploring,but for your own safety make sure you get adequate O&M training support in installing and properly using The vOICe for Windowsin orientation and mobility situations! Ask your O&M service provider and your computer dealer what they can do for you.
For detailed usage information, and a description of the advanced options, check out the
In the longer run, The vOICe for Windows may find applications in outdoor orientation and mobility, provided that you can indeed learn to master the interpretation of the complex sounds that correspond to complex visual scenes.With sufficient training, the risk of veering in crossing the street may be reduced because you can now actually see/hear the buildings on the other side of the road. Apple 1 picture. Orientation and wayfinding may become easier when you previewand perceive the buildings, landmarks and other objects that are within visualrange. After all, that's the way the sighted do it. Furthermore, it may make iteasier to build a more complete mental map of your environment and reverseroutes. You can see/hear the bright warning colors of textured tiles long before touching upon them, and thus more easily locate them and also see/hear and anticipate changes in track course and curbs well before the cane makes you notice all that - if at all. Moving around with The vOICe setupcan give you a sense of distance, direction, elevation, size and visual texture, not just for a single object, but for the multiple objects and landmarks thatmake up your environment. Still, for safety reasons you should always keep listening for the natural environmental sounds of trees, traffic, and so on. Also, the cane will remain very important for ground-level protection, because auditory vision has its limitations. However, The vOICe for Windows does offer new and extended modes of perception and independence to the totally blind, going way beyond what you can do with the long cane and guide dog.
What does it not do?Soundscapes from The vOICe are not suitable for efficiently readingprint; OCR with speech synthesis generally works much better forsuch purposes. Also, The vOICe for Windows does notinclude the image and soundscape editing, spectrographic analysis andother educational and ``fun' features offered to the sighted by The vOICe Java applet/application (JavOICe), because The vOICe for Windows targets usage in the most immersive environment of all: reality!For this reason, The vOICe for Windows is of limited usewithout a PC camera or equivalent video capture device. Without a camera, you will hear a spoken error message saying ``I'm sorry, The vOICe cannot find your webcam,' after whichthe demonstration mode is started. Still, you can subsequentlymake use of the built-in functions that do not require a camera,such as the exercise mode, the math plot mode, the GUI sonificationoptions and the image file import.
Finally, it is, and always should be, your choice whether you want to use something like The vOICe, or not. Yet it is your option now, a new one, and an extremely powerful one. In fact, it is so powerful that it will take you a very long time to fullyexploit all the visual things that you can now see/hear.

Right now, no one knows where it ends or what can be achieved. One experiencedlate-blind user of The vOICe put it like this: 'Most people want that magic bulletgiving instant sight. While this does occur over time, it is a developed thing.'Indeed the first impressions with seeing with sound may be similar to the reported confusing experiences of the rare blind people who got their biologicaleyesight partially restored by surgery, as happened to Shirl Jennings, whose life story was chronicled by Oliver Sacks in his book 'An Anthropologist on Mars'and inspired the movie 'At First Sight'.
Seeing with sound will be a major challenge too: vision itself happensto be very complicated - but The vOICe mapping is not!Moreover, if offers you uncensored access to any visual information,whereas a verbal audio description of a scene by a sighted person,however useful and accessible, inevitably always contains an element of censorship: even with the best of intentions, a concise verbal description of a scene by another person can capture only a tiny selection of what is visible at any time. That will always remaina fundamental limitation of for instance closedcaptioning of digital video and movies. By contrast, The vOICe ``speaks' in an extremely dense form all the visual items, withoutpersonal preference, without interpretation or bias, leaving it up toyou to focus your attention and try and interpret the things that interestyou.
Many improvements are the result of blind people who worked with and gaveconstructive feedback on earlier implementations of The vOICe. Specialthanks go to David, Pat and Pranav for their pioneering work on the user side.Please feel free to report your experiences withThe vOICe for Windows, such that your feedback and suggestions can beused to develop further improvements and to help other users! Blind users ofThe vOICe for Windows are most welcome to join theseeingwithsound user group (mailing list)for sharing experiences and ideas.

Supplemental information associated with disclaimer:
Concerning privacy of the observed: The vOICe for Windows by default (i.e. in normal use)does not store or transmit any video or snapshots; it converts live video frames to soundand next discards both the video data and the generated sound data.The vOICe for Windows is intended for educational uses, while its effectivenessor benefit has not been independently demonstrated and formally validated. It is notintended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or condition. It does notreplace long cane and/or guide dog. Depending on national law and regulations, usage of The vOICe technology may be subject to approval by an institutional review board. Also,as with any audio-based system, permanent hearing loss may result when sounds are playedat high volume (> 80 dB, OSHA) for prolonged periods of time, while environmental sounds can be partially masked even at a modest volume.Also note that this is still a research project, while the software may contain bugs, so there has to be a disclaimer with respect to any damages or harm that use of this educational software might cause through inappropriate use, just like you shouldn't attempt to dry your cat in the microwave oven. Never rely on The vOICe for your safety. Getting professional rehabilitation support, including adequate O&M training support for mobile orientation and mobility use, is considered extremely important when moving beyond mere educational uses, but even with that, 100% safety can never be guaranteed.Finally, some of the third-party product information may prove inaccurate, incomplete or outdated as it reflects a best effort to describe selected developments in a complex and highly dynamic market where adequate and reliable documentation is often missing or hard to track down.
