Seeing AI (iOS, Free)

 

 

Seeing AI is a free app that narrates the world around you. Designed for the

blind and low vision community, this ongoing research project harnesses the

power of AI to open up the visual world and describe nearby people, text and

objects.

 

Optimized for use with VoiceOver, the app enables you to recognize:

 

*             Short Text - Speaks text as soon as it appears in front of the

camera.

*             Documents - Provides audio guidance to capture a printed page,
and

recognizes the text, along with its original formatting.

*             Products - Scans barcodes, using audio beeps to guide you;
hear the

name, and package information when available. (works with iPhone 6 and

later)

*             People - Saves people's faces so you can recognize them, and
get an

estimate of their age, gender, and emotions.

*             Scenes (early preview) - Hear an overall description of the
scene

captured.

*             Currency - Recognizes currency notes.

*             Color - Identifies color.

*             Handwriting - Reads handwritten text.

*             Light - Generates an audible tone corresponding to the
brightness in

the surroundings.

*             Images in other apps - Just tap "Share" and "Recognize with
Seeing

AI" to describe images from Mail, Photos, Twitter, and more
