Seeing AI - A Microsoft App
Designed for the blind and low vision community, this research project harnesses the power of AI to describe people, text, currency, color, and objects. With this intelligent camera app, just hold up your phone and hear information about the world around you. Seeing AI can speak short text as soon as it appears in front of the camera, provide audio guidance to capture a printed page, and recognizes and narrates the text along with its original formatting. The app can also scan barcodes with guided audio cues to identify products, recognize and describe people around you and their facial expressions, as well as describing scenes around you using the power of AI. An ongoing project, the latest new ability to be added to Seeing AI’s roster is identifying currency bills when paying with cash and describing images in other apps such as your photo gallery, mail, Twitter.
