Labeler - sound tags for the visually impaired

Evaluated by Jutta Miroiu-Dunker

Labeler was designed for visually impaired people. Labeler is - the easiest way to label or tag items around you. It is a very helpful app for generating and scanning / reading QR Codes and NFC Tags. The app requires no external resources. It is easy to use and most important: you can record your own voice / language. 

  • Lables can be plain text or recorded audio (your owns speech)
  • Allows recording (and playback of the audio recording) your language
  • Created label list can be shared
  • Quite handy smartphone app for small amount of labels/tags
  • QR Code and NFC Tag writing/reading, but needs itself to read
  • Continuous scanning and instant reading/playback once scan function is opened
  • Good app for small scale home use
  • Stores labels locally
  • Reading QR Codes text (not audio) input in system default TTS language only
  • Other QR Code Readers would just read a number referring to the record of the lable,
  • Label list cannot easily created/modified on PC

QRTalk 

Evaluated by Jutta Miroiu-Dunker

QRTalk is not a cod generator or scanner a such. It is an end-to-end message encryption system. So actually, it does not belong in the group of talking QR Codes, as the name might imply ...

I did not test the functionality.

  • Claims to have Encryption
  • Requires Server, no test possible
