Audible Signage as a Wayfinding Aid: Verbal Landmark versus Talking Signs.

Bentzen, B. L.; Mitchell, P. A.

Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, v89 n6 p494-505 Nov-Dec 1995

Comparison by 40 users of 2 technologies--Verbal Landmark and Talking Signs--that provide speech messages to hand-held receivers for blind travelers found that, on all measures, the Talking Signs system proved superior to the Verbal Landmark system. This was attributed to Verbal Landmark's more cognitively demanding technology. (DB)
