## Live Read Description
Live Read turns your camera into a personal reading companion.
It instantly finds printed text and speaks it aloud, giving people with visual impairments an easy way to read independently. No setup, no clutter.

Read anything around you  
From mail and books to signs, menus, and labels, Live Read makes everyday reading effortless at home or on the go.

Designed for accessibility  
Every part of Live Read is built for ease of use. Just open the app, point the camera, and it starts reading automatically. Tap anywhere to stop or reset, or swipe to move between lines. Turning on VoiceOver will replace the swipe gestures with buttons. 

Features  
• Automatic reading: Text is detected and spoken aloud in real time.  
• Tap or swipe control: Tap to stop or reset. Swipe left to repeat a line or right to skip ahead a line of text.  
• Customizable speech: Choose from natural Apple voices and adjust speaking speed.  
• Works offline: Reads instantly without an internet connection.  
• Multi-language support: Recognizes printed text in 50+ languages.  
• Private and secure: Live Read never saves or sends anything you scan. All processing happens instantly and entirely on your device.

Disclaimer: Live Read is not a medical device. Text recognition results may not always be accurate or complete. Please use your own judgment and verify information when needed.

Testimonial
"I am using it on my phone now. It works amazing! And I'm reading an Irish bagpipe music book so the words are unusual and the computer is getting it pretty much right on."

## Live Read Reviews in United States

### ***** "just one request."
this is a very good product. If the text seems garbled, just adjust the phone a little bit, and things clear up pretty well. My only request is that there is an option to speed up the speech. I know that people who are not used to electronic speech, need to be a little slower, but those of us who are used to that kind of speech need it to read faster.

### ***** "Instant- Easy - Effective"
No searching for the app - just ask Siri to open the app and point your camera. No subtitles to try and manage.    I give thumbs up on this amazing app.    And FREE!
