New Voice: A Game-Changer!
Being totally blind, I often felt left out when visiting our national parks. Now, I can fully appreciate everything surrounding me. The new synthetic voice is a significant improvement.
Moreover, the app's overview of all the national park sites has introduced me to places that I didn't even know existed. From hidden gems tucked away in remote corners to well-known landmarks, this app has something for everyone—whether you're planning a visit to a specific national park or simply seeking a virtual adventure.

This app includes audio description of the national park brochures for most of the parks in the United States. It’s wonderful to have such an app. It would be even better if it were possible to download the descriptions and listen to them off-line. The computer voice is fine, but could use some tweaks, especially when reading telephone numbers. It would be much nicer listening to a real person. I like that this offers the option to experience just the description, or to also read the text (perhaps with your preferred text to voice options?).

This app not only teaches the public about audio description and provides opportunities to contribute content, but it also serves as a vehicle for exploring treasured national parks where everyone can learn about them, and people who are blind or have low vision can gain access to all that information most people take for granted. talk about a win-win situation!
