本研究探讨了导航与数字地图软件和合成语音生成的路线指示。参与者，无论是视力受损还是戴着眼罩，都成功地在一座陌生的建筑物中找到了房间。当该技术提供步数而不是步行时间或英尺数的距离信息时，有视觉障碍的用户表现出更好的寻路性能。
This study investigated navigation with route instructions generated by digital-map software and synthetic speech. The participants, either visually impaired or sighted wearing blindfolds, successfully located rooms in an unfamiliar building. Users with visual impairments demonstrated better route-finding performance when the technology provided distance information in the number of steps, rather than in the walking time or number of feet.
