Upmarket hotel, Cavendish London has joined recent sign ups - Carluccio’s and Oakman Inns & Restaurants - in introducing an app, Good Food Talks, which allows visually impaired diners to read the menu easier.
The app has been optimised to take advantage of the many accessibility features which are built into most smartphones. These functions include text-to-speech screen readers (VoiceOver on the iPhone), colour inversion, and different ways to control the size of the print and the brightness of the screen.
Good Food Talks is free to users and restaurants have to pay a small annual subscription which covers the cost of inputting their menus into the Good Food Talks database, and more importantly, keeping the menus current and up-to-date throughout the year.
