The Bureau of Engraving and Printing has developed a free downloadable application (app) to assist the blind and visually impaired denominate US currency. The app is called EyeNote®. EyeNote® is a mobile device app designed for Apple iPhone® (3G, 3Gs, 4), and the 4th Generation iPod® Touch and iPad®2 platforms, and is available through the Apple iTunes App Store℠.
EyeNote® uses image recognition technology to determine a note's denomination. The mobile device's camera requires 51 percent of a note's scanned image, front or back, to process. In a matter of seconds, EyeNote® can provide an audible or vibrating response, and can denominate all Federal Reserve notes issued since 1996.
