Students develop app to audibly check library accounts and order books and tapes
Disabled residents are sure to be helped by a new tech app that uses voice assistants together with the public library system. Several seniors at Texas A&M-San Antonio built the app to make it easier for the blind, elderly and others, by using voice assistants such as Hey Google and Siri. For the blind and the elderly, this would be a huge help to check library accounts and order books and tapes.
