About
Step-Hear develops and markets assistive technologies designed to provide equal accessibility for everyone. It specializes in creating accessible indoor and outdoor navigational solutions for blind and visually impaired people and in providing IoT assistance to help those with other disabilities, including mobility disabilities, overcome certain challenges in public spaces and using public transportation. The companys technologies include a free application (or a wrist-worn activator for users who do not use smartphones) to automatically activate its unique Audio-Sign base units, which utilize a smart loudspeaker capable of delivering multiple messages using Bluetooth communication. Its advanced navigation system for the blind and visually impaired relies on its Audio-Sign system for accurate anchoring, as well as on the companys innovative and versatile solutions, which can be adapted for a variety of different uses. The company has also developed a smart accessibility system for public transportation, including buses, trains, trams, and light rail. The system includes features such as the ability to send the bus driver a message that a person with disabilities is waiting at the next stop and audio announcements indicating the closest train door to the user.
