Methods, systems, and products for radio frequency identification aiding
the visually impaired, storing a recording of a sound, including timing
information for synchronous playback, representing at least one attribute
of an object having associated with the object a radio frequency
identification ("RFID") tag; activating the RFID tag with an electronic
travel aid ("ETA") for the visually impaired; retrieving the recording
from storage; and playing the recording synchronously through an audio
interface of the ETA. Storage of sound recording may be local or remote,
and sound recordings may be sorted or indexed and retrieved from storage
according to an RFID tag identification code, a classification code for
the object, and a type code (a sound skin identifier) for the recording.
