Visa Sailing: Talking Compass

Visually impaired sailing aid

Features & Capabilities

Visa is a talking compass that aids visually impaired sailors. Lock a heading and hold your course by ear, with spoken alerts and clear audio cues.

Visa Sailing helps you hold a steady course using sound, not sight. It is built to aid visually impaired sailors, turning your phone into a talking compass that keeps you on heading through every passage.

Lock your target heading, then let Visa guide you. As your bow drifts, Visa speaks the deviation and plays clear audio cues so you can correct by ear and keep both hands on the helm.

HEAR YOUR WAY Choose how Visa talks to you. Pick spoken announcements, simple tones, or both together. Drift to port sounds on one side and drift to starboard on the other, so the direction to correct is instantly clear.

STAY ON COURSE Set a target heading with a single tap, or enter one by hand. Visa tells you when you are on course and warns you the moment you begin to wander, with faster cues as the deviation grows.

BUILT FOR SCREEN READERS Every screen, button and value is designed to work with VoiceOver and TalkBack. Headings, live readings and status changes are announced clearly, with large high contrast text for visually impaired sailors. This is real accessibility, built in from the start, not added on at the end.

ACCURATE HEADINGS Visa blends compass, motion and location sensors to give a stable heading even in a rolling sea. Boat calibration corrects for magnetic interference on your vessel, and your location is used to adjust for magnetic declination so your heading stays true.

REVIEW YOUR JOURNEYS Visa saves a summary of each trip, including your target heading, your average deviation and how long you sailed, so you can look back on how each passage went.
