Wiki Pal™ (voice web browser)

Turn downtime to fun time by listening to VoiceSee™ Wiki Pal in your walk, exercise, commute, or any other activity that requires your visual attention.

Stuck in traffic and you still need to check a piece of information before that meeting in the big city?

Or... trying to read in the outdoors on a beautiful sunny day?

Use your voice to tell Wikipedia which Wikipedia entry to search for. Speak to navigate through the overview, key highlights and entry section via voice only – no need to use your eyes (!) because Sadie (the voice of VoiceSee) will be reading you, the entry's content. All you have to do is listen.

Enjoy access to Wikipedia - ANYWHERE, ANYTIME. This is unlike anything you have seen before: No assistant app reads you websites. VoiceSee does! Screen readers don't listen. VoiceSee does!

As an added bonus, you can say: “Search via Google” and you will hear Wiki Pal prompting you for the search term. You can visit any website using Wiki Pal.
