Abstract
Nowadays, technology is developing rapidly. The middle class has experienced technology such as smartphones, but unfortunately, there are still many applications that are not friendly for people with disabilities. The closest example is in Indonesia, where people with disabilities still receive less attention; all development support facilities do not pay attention to the comfort aspect for disabled users. This paper presents five features to help users, especially those who have blindness. These features are chat to speak, chat using voice, motion detect for emergency needs, detect object, voice to search engine, and weather information. In addition, a use case diagram was used to describe the application process and a class diagram to describe the database design.
