Samsung Galaxy Core Advance gets special accessories

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. has expanded its accessory base for users with disabilities. The new Ultrasonic Cover, Optical Voice Stand and Voice Label help enhance the Galaxy Core Advance with tools at an affordable price.  

Using research and in-depth interviews, the accessories are specially designed with the needs of specific communities in mind.

The three new assistive technology accessories, which connect with the Galaxy Core Advance, enrich accessibility features on the device intended to assist disabled and visually impaired users.

   

The Ultrasonic Cover: It 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 Optical Scan Stand is particularly useful when a consumer is alone, automatically initiating the application to read text as soon as paper is sensed on the stand. 

The Voice Label: It 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. This feature can also help a user distinguish how to use electronics by allowing them to    record a short explanation.

The new Galaxy Core Advance accessories are already available and are offered separately from the device. Samsung plans to expand accessibility of other Galaxy devices in the future.
