Game Changing
This app gives a new view of national parks to the blind or low vision user opening the “outdoors” in an accessible way. And for those of us with vision helps us to experience the parks in a new way. Completely amazing!
New Voice: A Game-Changer!
New Voice: A Game-Changer! Being totally blind, I often felt left out when visiting our national parks. Now, I can fully appreciate everything surrounding me. The new synthetic voice is a significant improvement. Moreover, the app's overview of all the national park sites has introduced me to places that I didn't even know existed. From hidden gems tucked away in remote corners to well-known landmarks, this app has something for everyone—whether you're planning a visit to a specific national park or simply seeking a virtual adventure.
Great
It’s great for accessibility
More Than Just Frosting on the Cake
This app not only teaches the public about audio description and provides opportunities to contribute content, but it also serves as a vehicle for exploring treasured national parks where everyone can learn about them, and people who are blind or have low vision can gain access to all that information most people take for granted. talk about a win-win situation!
Pretty easy to use
Simple and intuitive for the most part.
Useful but needs emotion
I found this app to be very useful; however as a sighted person never using this type of system, I found the automatic description “robot” voice to be too boring and unemotive.
Opens up access to our parks
I can listen to a little or a lot about each location, depending on my interest. Easy to navigate the menus within the app. It’s helping me decide where I’d like to visit next!
Easy to use, and useful
It’s easy to find the park brochure you’re interested in, drill down to the sections you want to read and/or hear, and to make speed adjustments. I would’ve given it five stars but I prefer human voices to the robotic voice.
Excellent Resource
I listened to the audio description for Cuyahoga Valley National Park’s unigrid brochure. What an excellent resource that serves to make our national parks accessible for an even larger portion of folks.
