WORKS WITH TALKBACK
Every button is labeled, so you can run the whole app without seeing the screen. It reads printed text out loud, names what the camera is pointed at, and tells you how far away things are on phones with a depth sensor.

What’s new

What's this? now works like the iPhone version: snap a picture, it freezes on screen, then hear what it is. Hold to ask a question about the photo. Flashlight and camera controls added. Faster answers, and the phone's GPU is used when it supports it.
