Hable Starter Pack – Assorted Speechlabels

Designed for blind and partially sighted people, Speechlabels are scanned by your smartphone allowing you to quickly and clearly identify everyday items.

This starter pack of assorted labels includes NFC stickers, NFC laundry buttons, thin QR code stickers for disposable items (such as groceries and medication packaging), and thick QR code stickers for items you keep (DVDs, storage boxes, food containers).

NFC stickers are scanned by tapping your phone against them – no camera aiming needed – allowing you to quickly and clearly identify everyday items.

The QR code stickers use Aztec code, which is especially designed for fast and reliable scanning and a camera only needs to capture about 10 per cent of the code for it to work, making them perfect for quick, accurate scans. This makes them especially useful for blind and partially sighted users, since you don’t need to perfectly align the sticker with the camera.

It's easy to record and play back your audio label using the accessible Speechlabel app (for both iOS and Android) – you can describe an item in brief ('ground cinnamon', 'Beatles, Help', or 'white shirt with fox pattern') or add extra description, such as nutritional information, track listing, or care instructions, for example.

To use, simply download the free Speechlabel app on your phone and tap the phone to an NFC button or sticker to scan it, or use the smartphone camera to scan a QR code sticker. After scanning, you can record a voice message or type a short description. The next time you scan the same sticker, the app will instantly play back or display your saved information. It’s quick, easy, and designed to be fully accessible.

In the pack

• 25 × Thin QR code labels (for groceries)
• 5 × Thick QR code labels
• 5 × NFC stickers
• 5 × NFC laundry buttons

Thin QR code labels

While made for groceries, you can also stick these easy-scan QR stickers on anything that doesn’t need a very long-term label. Also available in bulk packs of 100, these simple, fast, and flexible stickers are water-resistant, and measure 18 × 22.5mm, so they fit almost anywhere without getting in the way.

Thick QR code labels

With a durable, glossy finish, these thicker stickers (0.9mm deep) are resistant to wear, moisture, and fading. They stay put and scan effortlessly, even after years of use. Designed for long-term organization, they measure 28 × 35mm, and have a strong adhesive to keep them in place. Also available in packs of 25.

Touch Sticker (NFC) stickers

These Touch Sticker Speechlabels are moisture-resistant, 30mm wide, and a little thicker than a sheet of paper, so they fit almost anywhere without getting in the way, while you can still feel them for easy locating. Strong and long-lasting, they’re great for simple, discreet, and reliable labelling of things you use often, like containers, CDs, or gadgets. Please note, NFC stickers don’t work on metal surfaces, although most will continue to work in the freezer (apply to a dry surface, before putting the container in the freezer). Also available in packs of 25.

NFC laundry buttons

These 20mm diameter buttons are soft, flexible, and washable, so they stay in place even through regular wear and washing. Durable, discreet, and fully accessible, they're ideal for organizing your wardrobe or helping someone identify clothing independently. Also available in packs of 25.

You can also choose to save your audio labels in the cloud and share them with other people.
