Description

Seeing AI is a free app that narrates the world around you. Designed with and for the blind and low vision community, this ongoing research project harnesses the power of AI to open up the visual world by describing nearby people, text and objects.

Seeing AI provides tools to assist with a variety of daily tasks:
• Read - Hear text as soon as it appears in front of the camera. Document alignment provides audio cues to capture a printed page and recognize the text along with its original formatting. Ask Seeing AI about the contents to easily find the information you need.
• Describe - Take photos to hear a rich description. Ask questions to focus on the information you care about. Explore photos by moving your finger over the screen to hear the location of different objects.
• Products - Scan barcodes and Accessible QR codes using audio beeps to guide you; hear the product name and package information when available.
• People - Save photos of friends and coworkers so you can recognize them later. Get an estimate of their age, gender, and expression.
• Currency - Recognize currency notes.
• Find My Things - Teach Seeing AI to recognize your personal objects and follow the audio cues to find them later.
• World - An Audio Augmented Reality experience to explore an unfamiliar environment, including hearing objects announced around you with Spatial Audio (requires a device with a LiDAR, and iOS 14+).
• Colors - Identify colors.
• Light - Hear an audible tone corresponding to the brightness of your surroundings.
• Photos and Videos in other apps - Just tap “Share” and “Recognize with Seeing AI” to describe media from Mail, Photos, WhatsApp, and more.
• Browse Photos - Hear descriptions of photos and videos saved on your device.

Seeing AI continues to evolve as we hear from the community, and AI research advances.

Application vraiment génial ! Bravo au développeur application vraiment très bien pensé complète et vraiment efficace un petit bémol quand même dommage qu'elle ne puisse être commandée à la voix ou qu'il puisse exister un système pour les lectures en appuyant juste sur l'écran du coup cette application est moins bien adaptée pour les aveugles

This late night I’ve been using this AI to read for me, but when I’m reading with it, I can notice it’s saying wrong words and going off track.

Almost perfect.

I have adhd and so this helps immensely with reading school material. The voices could be better.

I can read again!

I have actually spent my first afternoon in literally years reading a physical book that I can actually touch and flip the pages myself. No electronic except for the iPad and this app! I am so thankful for this app! It needs some work in some areas, but essentially, this does everything I need to do. Even reading prescriptions is a breeze!!

Good overall

Overall quite useful, does make mistakes especially with products however, and every time there’s a new update you are forced to go through all the menu categories and dismiss the tutorial each time, but other than that it’s all right.
