Introduction
Kapten Mobility is primarily a navigation device designed for visually impaired people using
GPS satellite-positioning system. Kapten Mobility is fully accessible thanks to its accessible
interface, which implements speech recognition and voice synthesizer.
Kapten Mobility is more than a simple GPS navigator. It will make your journey easier and
will facilitate your mobility thanks to its content rich features, such as geo localization,
navigation, and map discovery.
Moreover, Kapten will allow you to memorize your preferred points of interest in order to
guide you there whenever you want. These points of interest are called K-Tag's.
In addition, Kapten Mobility incorporates two multimedia functions: An MP3 music player and
a Daisy format audio book reader.
