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. Visit http://SeeingAI.com for more details. Questions, feedback or feature requests?

    I didn’t think one app has four blinds and tell me for reading paper or currency and more

    When I first started using this app to read print books because I couldn’t get the information online it would read 25 pages at a time reliably Now I’m lucky if I can get three pages out of it before it stops, scanning my book it’s impossible for me to read with this app anymore because I can’t comprehend a book if I can only read three pages every five minutes whatever improvements you think you’ve made with this app please reverse them. I need to use this and I can’t and it’s ridiculous.

  • Why is it necessary to push options?

    If I am blind it is not useful

  • This app isn’t reliable

    Whenever I take a picture in the describe tab, it almost never works. It always says try again later. Or it cuts out of the app entirely. This app never works. Try something else.

  • I don’t eat it a lot, but it doesn’t recognize text. That’s my problem. I don’t use it a lot it just

    I think it’s really bad even though the reason I wanted to give it three stars is because when I tried to put it over or something, it doesn’t even recognize anything

  • A very powerful tool, but...

    Overall this is the most useful app on my phone. However, I'm getting sick of the occasional reset of settings between launches. EG. I'll have my channels ordered and everything set the way I want and scan some mail, money etc. A few days later I need to scan one simple thing and I'm forced to bypass/skip the little introduction to Seeing AI thing. When i'm in a hurry and having to faff about with things I already did, I consider uninstalling this app and just looking elsewhere. I understand this is free, and how we should all be grateful. But this is a longstanding issue and I'm tired of the reset btn being pressed in Seeing AI configuration so I have to set everything up again. Oh, and that includes the annoying tutorial popups for each mode. As if I haven't used this app for 7 years regularly now. Please please address this and soon. There's probably more people out there experiencing this random reset behavior and too nice to be critical of a free app. Other than that, one of the best recognition apps and I've tried them all.

  • Life-changing App

    This app completely changed my life the day I discovered it over two years ago, and I've used it almost every day since. It's a must-have for blind independant living.

  • Love this app, but hate recent updates

    This app was great until recently. I used this app to scan money, scan products, and read text, but the recent updates have made it very terrible for me. You can no longer do money scanning on the app, and they took away the really short text feature, so now you have to take a picture of the document which is not easy for some people, even with the camera help. Seeing AI team, If you see this, please bring back the old features of the app.

  • Instant text reading upon opening the app

    "Please reinstate the instant text reading feature that Seeing AI previously offered upon opening the app. Additionally, consider adding an option to capture photos using the volume up and down buttons on iPhones and Android devices, as this would greatly improve ease of use."
