Introducing SunoDayko, a utility for the deaf-blind and the blind

My mistake, I meant VoiceOver. Thanks for pointing it out. I have edited my post accordingly. Yes is is available on iOS devices. You can search for SunoDayko on the iOS App Store.

The app actually has 3 features, which I designed because I felt they would be useful for VI and deaf-blind. I am now trying to get feedback on these. The 3 features at the moment are:
-TIME in morse code for deaf-blind (tap once and swipe up)
-DATE in morse code for deaf-blind (tap twice and swipe up)
-CAMERA mode (tap tree times and swipe up)

Let me explain camera mode more. It can pick text that is clearly written, examples include flat number on a door or meeting room name on a door. I feel this can help VI navigate offices. Once you open the camera, point it at the door where the text is written and the app will vibrate when it recognizes the text. You can just tap the screen to hear the text.

These are the only features at the moment. I will build out more over time.

Thats a good question. Let me address this concern regarding "Clearly visible". It means that the text you want to capture should be relatively large and there should be no small text around it. Thats why I used the examples of flat numbers or meeting room names. These are 2 examples where the text in question is big and its the only thing written on the door. There is unlikely to be other text around it.

To quote your example of walking back to your apartment, you would likely know that the flat number is on the upper half of the door. So once you reach the apartment, you would open the in-app camera and point it up at the door where the flat number is written. The app will pick it.

I understand that it maybe difficult to understand the functionality from a written description so here is a video of the camera functionality in action. Hope it makes things little clearer. https://youtu.be/PajVftd_MdI

Thank you Brad for trying out the app. Let me address the doubts you mentioned:

OP does mention that you can swipe up and the app wil vibrate the date and time, I think that should be explained a little more.
When you tap once and swipe up, the app will give you the TIME in numbers (24 hr format) and morse code. This has been designed for the deaf-blind, as a way to let them read time without using a braille display. They can scroll right with 2 fingers to read morse code. The app communicates morse code via vibrations. This feature wasn't really designed for VI as I'm aware that they can access time from the lockscreen itself. However if they want to use this feature they can. After tapping once and swiping up, they just tap the screen again to hear the time

-Tap twice and swipe up to get DATE. Again, primarily designed for the deaf-blind. This returns the date and the first 2 letters of day of the week. Two important points to share here:
1. I do not return the month or year as I assume the user already knows that. On any particular day, they possibly do not recall the date or the day of the week
2. First 2 letters of the day of the week: I return only this because I realize it maybe cumbersome to read the morse code so I just want to provide the minimum number of characters to convey the message. So I give the first 2 characters.

3. Tap 3 times and swipe up to open CAMERA. The camera can detect text. It works best when pointed a large text with no other text around it. Examples include flat numbers on doors and meeting room names on doors. One should wait upto 10 seconds. If the device vibrates once, it means the camera was successful. It will return the text it detected and the morse code version. A VI person can tap the screen to hear the text. A deaf-blind person can start swiping right with 2 fingers. The app will communicate the morse code via vibrations

I hope this offers better clarity. Thanks for your question :)

Again, thank you Brad for your observations. Let me address these:

You said: At the moment, it's very hard to double tap and hold, then swipe write with two fingers, when I turned voiceover off it worked fine.
My response: Just to clarify, your saying a 2 finger swipe is difficult with voiceover ON? If so, thats a good point, I'll try to think of a different user interaction for the morse code

Another thing is the vibration for date and time, I don't think morse code is the best option, it's 5:10 here in the UK, what about five quick vibrations and 10 ones after. I honestly don't know exactly how good that would be.
Ok so your saying this method is better than the morse code option? Thats valuable info. I'm just gathering feedback on these features.

Thank you for sharing this link!

Thank you for trying it out and providing feedback. I am sorry that the experience has been frustrating for you. Let me explain how the app is meant to work with VoiceOver enabled:
As you have rightly observed, when you start the app, the screen says Tap the screen for a dot.
After tapping the screen, VoiceOver should give you the next instruction, which is "Swipe up to get TIME. Add a dot to get DATE". This means that if you swipe up you get the TIME. I believe swipe up is a 3 finger swipe up with VoiceOver enabled.
If you add another dot (by tapping again), VoiceOver should tell you to swipe up to get DATE.
If you add another dot by tapping again, VoiceOver should tell you to swipe up to get CAMERA.
To summarize the interactions:
Tap once and swipe up = TIME
Tap twice and swipe up = DATE
Tap 3 times and swipe up = CAMERA

Note that only after swiping up is the action completed. For example, tap once, then swipe up, and the app will vibrate to confirm that it has understood the request for the TIME and it will give you the time (in 24 hr format and morse code). Then a VI person can tap the screen to hear the time, whereas a deaf-blind person can swipe right with 2 fingers to read the morse code.

If you feel these features are of use to you and want to give the app another try I would appreciate that. If not, its ok, I understand. I thank you for your feedback. It has made me realize that the design is probably not intuitive enough and I need to address that.
