About this app

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. Ask questions about the contents to easily find the information you need.
• Products - Scans barcodes, or Accessible QR codes, using audio beeps to guide you; hear the name, and package information when available.
• Scenes - Hear an overall description of the scene captured. Tap "More Info" to hear an even richer description. Or, explore the photo by moving your finger over the screen to hear the location of different objects.
• People - Saves people’s faces so you can recognize them, and get an estimate of their age, gender, and expression.
• Currency - Recognizes currency notes.
• 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.
Seeing AI continues to evolve as we hear from the community, and AI research advances.

Ratings and reviews

Amazing! So much potential to improve the lives of countless individuals. There's just so much going on here. I LOVE the way it takes what I see as an ugly depressing scene and describes it in such a beautiful way. It's like the AI sees the physical world in its most true, raw, natural form, without the painful memories, without the longing, without the bias and the negativity. It just SEES everything how I wish I could see it. This is helping me be a more positive person! So much potential❤️‍🩹

So far this is the best recognition app for android I have tried in the past. I would only want that the buttons you have on screen, to make them tabs that will be in one or two rows in the bottom of the screen, and the take a photo button on the middle of the screen. So the interface would be more intuitive. Also, please make an option in settings to toggle off the automatical use of some tabs, like colour detection. I don't want any detection until I am ready to point the phone.

This app is very good and I would like to thank its customer team who responds very quickly. ant Mein Mein I have a question I want to ask The main question I want is when will the PDF share option come in the app? We can share photos from Gallery but not PDF, why so? one more thing Microsoft If everything can be done using artificial intelligence, there is an app for reading PDF. Why is there no AI voice in it? Please send me one to Ai voice must be used.
