Did you know that there are seven different types of WayTag products that work as audio labels for the blind? These handy little tags that work with your mobile device are so much more than just audio labels. There is a tag that can be attached to just about any item to make it permanently accessible for anyone who is blind or visually impaired.

Special guests include Andrew Hesser of U.K. based Bryan’s Quest and Tina and Tony Sohl, WayAround power users and members of the NFB of Arizona, East Valley Chapter.
