Hey there! Welcome to Accessibility Minute, your weekly look
at Assistive Technology, those clever tools and devices designed to
help people who have difficulties with vision, mobility, hearing or
other special needs!
The Seeing AI app from Microsoft brings several object
recognition tools to a single app. It is a great tool for
individuals with low vision as it provides information about who
and what is around them.
According to Microsoft's website, "Seeing AI is a Microsoft
research project that brings together the power of the cloud and AI
to deliver an intelligent app, designed to help you navigate your
day."
Features of Seeing AI are:
The app speaks text as soon as it appears in front of the
camera
Provides audio guidance to capture a printed page, and
recognizes the text, along with its original formatting
Gives audio beeps to help locate barcodes and then scans them
to identify products
Recognizes friends and describes people around you, including
their emotions
Identifies currency bills, recognizes colors, and more
