CosmoBally on Sonoplanet vs Braille Tutor+ Usage & Stats
Lift off to Sonoplanet, where ‘sonification’ has turned all information and data, including images, into sound! This app is action packed, with four audio games offering the opportunity to actively develop an understanding of novel sonification concepts.
Analysing information in this sound-only app requires attentive listening: an essential life-skill for some, and of benefit to all students. In addition, this app supports the development of independent learning skills, and offers a wide range of learning opportunities within the STEAM education curriculum – including for students who are blind or visually impaired.
World-wide, sonification is increasingly being applied in science (particularly astronomy), technology and the arts. There’s growing awareness about its opportunities for accessibility, inclusiveness, and multisensory learning.
This app was developed with support from South Pacific Educators in Vision Impairment (SPEVI Inc). Brought to you by multi-award-winning developers Sonokids, creators of educational apps like best-selling 'Ballyland: CosmoBally in Space' and 'Ballyland Magic Plus'.

Learn and practice contracted braille (Unified English Braille) with Braille Tutor!
This is the paid version of the original Braille Tutor app, as requested by many educators whose organisations did not allow In-App purchases. All lessons and functionalities are same as the original (free) version.
Braille Tutor provides an interactive learning experience for a sighted or blind braille learner. It works on iPad using onscreen keys or home keys on a Bluetooth keyboard. It is self-voiced, but also works with iOS accessibility.
The app uses sounds and text-to-speech to support vision-impaired learners. Using a Bluetooth keyboard also gives the user a feel of the keys.
"Great App! :) Very good for consolidating braille skills learned, particularly at home / places where a learner might not have access to a Brailler."
