DISABLED WORLD: BeWarned - Free App for Deaf and Hard of Hearing People
A new free app helps people with hearing impairments detect dangerous sounds, communicate with people, make emergency calls and dance to music. One of the app's founders is deaf and has been essential in developing it. The app, BeWarned, has four main features:
- Sound Monitor-- it detects possible dangerous sounds and alerts the user with flashing lights and vibration signals
- Connect--this allows users to communicate with others by using a special chat feature
- Dance-- this feature allows users to enjoy music which is converted into vibration signals or flashing lights
- Emergency Call-- allows users to inform family and friends about an emergency situation he/she is in
BeWarned is free and is currently available for Android and iOS.
