New Accessories for the Samsung Galaxy Core Advance

Samsung has released three new accessibility accessories for the recently launched Galaxy Core Advance. These include the Ultrasonic Cover, the Optical Scan Stand, and Voice Label. All three new assistive technology accessories will enrich the stock of accessibility features on the Galaxy Core Advance intended to assist disabled and visually impaired users.

The Ultrasonic Cover allows users to detect obstacles and navigate unfamiliar places by sending an alert through a vibration or TTS feedback. By holding the Cover in front of the user, it can enhance a visually impaired user’s awareness of their surroundings by sensing the presence of a person or object up to 2 meters away.
The Optical Scan Stand positions the device to focus on printed materials, automatically activating the Optical Scan application, which recognizes text from an image and reads it aloud to the user.
The Voice Label assists users in distinguishing objects by allowing them to make notes and tag voice labels easily on-the-go. With NFC technology enabling a seamless connection to their smartphones, users can record, stop and access their notes.
