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.

Do not use app scary

hdeucihcjw on

United Kingdom

When I use the app i don’t think when I go into the camera it supposed say (my name) near right edge. It’s really creepy because I never gave it my name and it just knows my name when I go into the camera? And I have tried it on my friends and it doesn’t say any names it only says my name when I go into the camera. Please tell me that it doesn’t know what I look like and it doesn’t know my name because it is scarring me. Please DO NOT use app

Very helpful

I am sight impaired and this app helps me to read all text papers or any text. Before I use to take picture of any text and zoom to read even at train stations it took me three times of time to travel to my destinations. Some times I pretended like is my first time to ask anyone, and many times I was asked why i am not wearing glasses. How to explain them that the cause i am partly blind is because radio therapy, no glasses can help me. This app it helps me anywhere.

Rather stupid - if you can’t see

It reads documents very well Doesn’t respond to voice commands Has small buttons so it can save space for the on screen image - For Blind people!!!! Worst of all it cannot recognise actual things such as tomatoes.

Rubbish

Great app but.....

sis117 on

United Kingdom

but has stopped working on 10.3.3 after last update. Uninstalled, reinstalled but goes back to home screen after ‘get started’. I work for a visually impaired charity and find it pathetic that an organisation like Microsoft takes so long to respond to or fix bugs in its apps. I reported a bug about the incompatibility with iOS 10.3.3 over 6 months ago and there has still been no fix.
