Description

eKiosk has been developed by visorApps for the Swiss Federation of the Blind entwickelt. This is the first time we have created an app for iOS and Android simultaneously. It allows blind and partially sighted people to read about 60 magazines and newspapers also on their mobile devices.

  • Using the accessibility features, which are part of the operating system, articles can be read aloud in German, French, and Italian
  • Bookmarking of favourite magazines and newspapers
  • Can be controlled via the buttons of a headset, similar to music playback, works even when the screen is locked
  • Downloading and offline reading of individual editions
  • Table of contents for each article
  • Viewing of individual articles of an edition

Please note: Only individuals with a proven visual disability are eligible to use eKiosk.
