NFC tags are little helpers for everyday life. With their help, we can automatically set an alarm clock or a timer and calculate the time we need for our journey home. But they can also help us with visual impairments. For example, people who are visually impaired or blind may find it difficult to recognise different items of clothing or shoes. With an NFC tag, labels for individual items of clothing, shoes, etc. can be read aloud when scanned with a smartphone. To do this, we just need to create an automation using the free NFC Tools app and we need a blank NFC tag, such as an NFC sticker.
In this How2, we explain how to create an automation with an Android smartphone and save it to an NFC tag.
