About this app

A gesture-based app for the visually impaired that talks to you. With Voxmate, you can immerse yourself in the imaginary world of an audiobook, participate in a family chat on Telegram, play Four Colors with friends around the world, learn about topics related to blindness, and more.

Three reasons to download Voxmate:
Gesture-based: Voxmate was designed with a "blind-first" approach, so any visually impaired user can learn to use the app within minutes. You navigate primarily with four one-finger swipe gestures.

All-in-one app: with Voxmate, you get access to a number of audio-first apps. Some of them are audio interfaces to popular services like YouTube and Reddit, and some - original ideas, like the Audio Forum. Today there are 30 apps, and we're determined to get that number into triple digits. Find the full list below.

Fully accessible: Voxmate is a self-voicing app that doesn't require TalkBack knowledge. However, it feels very much at home alongside TalkBack. You can enable a special TalkBack compatibility mode and use Voxmate with two-finger swipes.

Ratings and reviews

Exceptional. Finally someone understood the difficulty of the blind and visually impaired, and built a tool for them - from the ground up. You will not need any other app for your day-to-day activity ever again. Get it, thank me later.

Extremely promising. I'm a sighted person who is trying to help a lady who has recently lost her sight and acquired dexterity problems too. She finds Talkback extremely difficult!

I personally don't need this sort of app, though I realise that a limited number of less tefh savvy blind people might benefit from it. However, I wish to point out that TalkBack is not the onlx screon reader on Android. I use Jieshuo (Commentary), and there are others as well. Therefore, I'd suggest changing the prompt to read Screen Reader where it now reads TalkBack.
