How Ariadne Sense helps every day
A day isn't made of features, it's made of situations: an unannounced stop, a dug-up pavement, an official letter. Here's what Ariadne does in each of them.
Six everyday situations
Outdoors
When you leave home the app detects you're outside and warns you: what, on which side, how far, e.g. “Post, on the right, very close.”
Near the street
It describes your surroundings along the route and points out landmarks. This is extra information, not a replacement for a cane or guide dog.
Reading
Point your phone at a letter, bill or medication leaflet, and the app reads the text aloud.
In an unfamiliar building
In an office, clinic or shop it describes the room and points out doors, stairs and important signs.
In a hazardous situation
When a situation is dangerous, the assistant first tells you how to avoid the hazard.
This is what Ariadne sounds like
This is what the app's prompts sound like while moving:
-
Car on the left, nearby.
-
Step down on the right, very close.
-
Path straight ahead.
-
Door on the left, within reach.
Always the same structure: what, which side, how far.
The app chooses the mode for you
You don't need to switch any settings. Ariadne Sense recognizes the context (whether you're indoors, outdoors or near the street) and adapts how it describes things. It always checks for hazards first.
