Learn about this versatile computer vision tool for iOS. We'll explore channels for recognizing short text like envelopes and kitchen items, full documents, handwriting, scenes, color, light level and more. We'll also explore how to use Seeing AI to get visual descriptions for photos on your phone and on social media. 

For many Seeing AI beginners, it can be a challenge to get accurate results when working with the iPhone's camera. We'll go over some strategies and techniques for making sure your camera is stable and the object you want to see is fully in view.

 

Anyone is welcome! Our remote tech and culture programs are an evolution of the in -person and hybrid workshops hosted at the Andrew Heiskell Braille and Talking Book Library. Whether you're blind, sighted, or somewhere in between, in New York City or on the other side of the world, we welcome you for fellowship, learning and dialog.

so we know how many people to expect.

To join our technology and Braille team's event announcement list, just email heiskelltech+subscribe at googlegroups.com <mailto:heiskelltech%2Bsubscribe at googlegroups.com>  - we'll let you know about all the other remote programming we offer.

To learn more about us or suggest a workshop, or to volunteer your time, contact our tech coordinator: chanceyfleet at nypl.org <mailto:chanceyfleet at nypl.org> 

To support open discussion and patron privacy, our workshops are never recorded.
