Tap your phone to a WayTag, and the shirt tells you it's the navy polo. The bottle tells you it's the antibiotic, twice daily, finish the course. The can tells you it's black beans, expires next March.
WayAround turns everyday objects into things that can speak for themselves, giving blind and low-vision users a faster, more independent way to identify and organize the items around them.
"Information is power, and WayAround takes it to the next level."
Neva Fairchild, retired, American Foundation for the Blind
HOW IT WORKS
Stick, clip, or pin a WayTag (sold separately) onto anything: clothing, medication, pantry items, files, appliances, cables, plants. Use the app to write whatever info you want onto the tag. From then on, a quick tap of your phone reads it back instantly through VoiceOver or your preferred accessibility settings.
No camera. No aiming. No barcode hunting. Just tap and know.
WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH IT
Identify things in a second. Tap a tag and hear the description immediately. Swipe for more detail when you want it.
Store real information, not just labels. Unlimited characters per tag allows for full washing instructions, dosage schedules, ingredient lists, or links to other resources like a user manual. Rewrite tags as often as you like.
Work the way you already work. WayAround is built around VoiceOver, high-contrast visuals, large type, braille displays, and voice dictation. Whatever accessibility setup you use on your iPhone, the app fits into it.
Stay organized offline. Your tags work without an internet connection, and your data backs up automatically to the cloud when you reconnect.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
"WayAround is a simple and cost-effective solution for labeling just about anything."
J.J. Meddaugh, AT Guys
"I love it. So much easier than a barcode reader or anything you have to focus with a camera."
Melissa Wagner, user
FOR BUSINESSES AND BRANDS
WayAround's patented public-tag solution lets any business add accessible information that anyone can read with a tap, improving the experience for customers with disabilities and beyond. Learn more at wayaround.com/public.
GETTING STARTED
WayTags come as stickers, magnets, buttons, and clips. Buy them at wayaround.com/shop or through an assistive technology distributor.
COMPATIBILITY
WayAround works with the built-in NFC on iPhone 7 and later. For iPad users or older iPhones, the WayLink Scanner (sold separately) connects via Bluetooth and sends tag info to the app.
WayAround tags are an ESSENTIAL tool in The Blind Kitchen!
Debra - The Blind Kitchen
I use WayAround tags in several applications in both my personal and professional kitchens and they are the ONLY labels in my freezers. I also have more than 30 assorted color chef coats and WayAround buttons allow me to quickly and easily select the one I am looking for independently. I like the system of tagging so much that one is included in the first Blind Kitchen Collection. I want people to know how much easier their lives could be if they decided to use the WayAroundsystem.Debra EricksonExecutive Chef and FounderThe Blind Kitchen
Amazing tool for a visually impaired and blind :-)
how does she do that
I absolutely love these tags! I love to cook and have cooked for 40 years plus. I have organized my kitchen including my pantry, freezer and cupboards :-) these tags make it so simple to identify the products I need without having to ask someone else. I am a very independent person and very self-sufficient. With the way around life is so much simpler :-) thank you so much for your wonderful product you have been a godsend! I would highly recommend these to anyone who is visually impaired or blind to help them organize their life!
Amazing product
be_ccause
I am not visually impaired and use it to label my houseplants with all of its specific care requirements. This is an amazing concept but it can use some updates to make it even more amazing. Customer service is fantastic. Darwin helped me through the process of using the product and provided exceptional service. Again, the app can use some changes to make it even better but I’m pleased for now. Highly recommend for any user.
Love these tags
Backtoourrootsfarm
I absolutely love these tags! I love to garden but trying to remember what where and when and also when to harvest is very difficult. I attach them to garden picks and put all info on the tags. I also love to use them on my clothes to tell me what that piece of clothing is and what to wear it with. With the newest update I just click read and all info is read to me without voiceover on. I love using them all over my house inside and out.

We've tuned the VoiceOver experience so you can swipe through sessions quickly and drill into the details only when you need them.
