Ratings and reviews

it suits its name. a great ai assistant to the blind. in future updates include more offline reading, writing, sharing, language, motion, interactive and senser as well as identification features like currency identification. Also you can think of improving the app to include an independent tts, screen reader and a wide range of voices in all the languages in the app. Cudos for the tireless efforts.

when reading Urdu language, it reads the page Irrespective of the columns on the page. it loses column recognition, which causes problems in reading PDF. It should Automatically understand the columns on the page Otherwise it should ask about the columns on the page. it could be helpful for us.

I have used different apps for reading of scanning other documents this app has proven to be the best of all therefore I highly recommend this app to everyone who are blind or visually impaired so that it may help them to read and explore the world with this application
