App Description
CPqD Alcance+ is a launcher application that makes it easier for people who are blind or have great permanent vision difficulties to use touchscreen cell phones, ESPECIALLY FOR PEOPLE WITH DIFFICULTY USING TOUCH SCREEN CELLPHONES.
ATTENTION: This application has been tested on Android 5.x, 6.x, 7.x and 8.x. Newer versions may have faults or operating restrictions!
With CPqD Alcance+, people with visual impairments can use cell phone functions with simplicity, autonomy and privacy, improving their quality of life through the facilities of an increasingly digital and connected world.
Easy to use, CPqD Alcance+ combines screen standardization with speech synthesis capabilities for Brazilian Portuguese. When you slide your finger over the screen, the application tells you which function the finger is positioned in; to choose one of them, just two consecutive touches in the same area.
