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:
• 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.
• People - Saves people’s faces so you can recognize them, and get an estimate of their age, gender, and expression.
• Currency - Recognizes currency notes.
• Scenes - Hear an overall description of the scene captured. Explore the photo by moving your finger over the screen to hear the location of different objects.
• 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+).
• Indoor Navigation - Available on the World Channel, enables you to create routes through a building, like "entrance to classroom", and navigate by following the sound (requires a device with an A9 or later processor, and iOS 14+).
• Colors - Identifies colors.
• Handwriting - Reads handwritten text like in greeting cards (available in a subset of languages).
• 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.
• Browse Photos - Hear descriptions of photos saved on your device.
Seeing AI continues to evolve as we hear from the community, and AI research advances.

Version 5.1.1

Blind Bat 2023 09 24 on

Australia

This version of Seeing AI is a major back step for iPhone users with vision impairment compared to earlier versions. The menu no longer integrates with Apple text-to-speech and I can no longer access menu items that I used to rely on like long-text, color, etc. How is this fixed?

Extremely unstable

eddie.robinson on

Australia

This does not run on my iPad Pro 12.9 inch m2. When ever I touch a button, or move the camera suddenly, my entire iPad freezes up and I can not turn it off, exit the app, or do anything else. I have to do a hard shutdown to unfreeze my iPad.

Can’t link to hearing aides

I can’t seem to link the voice to my hearing aides…

Video game

This works very well with console games like PlayStation four games or if you have a PlayStation five or an Xbox to read stuff in the games for you it works very well you should really try it for yourself it makes playing video games a lot easier than getting somebody to come in the room and read it for you

Some suggestions

Hi Microsoft, Seeing AI is a really good app. That’s why I rated it 5 stars. I have some suggestions to help improve the app. 1. Add a channel called Pets, or allow animals to be recognised in the Person channel 2. I don’t write very neatly, so, if you read this, can you please make an update on the Handwriting channel and make it recognise messy writing Well these are the only suggestions. Hopefully you read this and make my suggestions in an upcoming update. Thanks

Currency

This app Is really useful but could you please add Australian currency recognition so if you could add this that would be really useful

Face recognition from paper is flawed

🤬🤬🤬🤬😡😡😡😡 on

Australia

When I try to scan a person from paper, it says one person briefly and goes back to no persons detected, even when I try to keep still.

Samsung

Brose1706 on

Australia

This is a fantastic app and can help many people who are visually impaired but, I do think that it should be on Samsung for people who maybe can not afford a apple phone ect.

Great! But it could use some improvement

Tristo18 on

Australia

I have noticed that when into scanning products, it does not recognise some Australian made logos. I believe that it would be better if it recognised all products. as it will help out a lot. Over all it is a very great app.

Seeing is believing

Countrylad58 on

Australia

I love the app. It s very fast and seems quite accurate at reading text. Seems faster than KNFB. The only issue I have had is reading barcodes from ALDI products. Some suggestions, Australian & New Zealander currencies. Add ability to read QR Codes.
