Software Features and Description

1. Fully accessible via VoiceOver, BlindWays will help guide you to within a cane’s distance of an outdoor bus stop sign using permanent landmark clues contributed by volunteers.

2. Those clues help BlindWays users navigate easily and independently to work, school and appointments, rather than relying on expensive ride services or favors from friends and family.

3. BlindWays navigational clues are contributed by volunteers who can easily submit them while they’re waiting for the bus or walking in the neighborhood.

4. In addition, BlindWays provides predictive, location-based bus arrival information, and saves your most-used bus routes for future reference.

5. BlindWays was built from the ground up with accessibility in mind and inspired by feedback from the blind community.

6. Navigate to outdoor Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) bus stops easily and independently with BlindWays.

7. Picking up where GPS leaves off, BlindWays presents landmarks in a sequence aligned with the direction you are walking.

8. The app was built by a team of developers and testers who are accessibility users and experts, many of whom are also visually impaired.

  • Excellent design

    By k_bron1 (Pcmac user)

    Very simple to use and make a difference in the life of someone who is blind.
  • Please expand

    By Kaiti104 (Pcmac user)

    I know so many people Who were excited to see this, then disappointed that it only covered the area surrounding Perkins. I have to agree. Even if you expanded service and charged for the app, it would be very much appreciated by blind people across the country, particularly those in areas that don't typically receive attention from major GPS and transit apps.
  • Wonderful

    By benjohnson322 (Pcmac user)
