When we think of smartphones, we usually imagine social networks, YouTube videos or other multimedia content platforms or discuss them in editorial forums. For visually impaired people, however, these devices are a very useful aid to support them during the day and thus achieve greater independence in their tasks.
There are applications like Seeing AI, which were developed with artificial intelligence (AI) functions to describe objects, read words and even understand the humor of people in relation to the expression of their faces.
Now a new application uses the AI to detect objects and people around a visually impaired person, expand their possibilities and make walking and even shopping easier.
Its name is Envision, and unlike other applications of its kind, it can dictate loudly and in several languages, which is useful for new websites, for restaurant menus or even for reading a supermarket label.
Although it has been available to iOS users for some time, Envision has passed on the good news to Android users that their app is now available for download.
When Envision first came to market, a subscription fee had to be paid to access all features. However, this version seems to be completely free, with the promise of the developers that the features will be updated to keep up with the version of iOS.
As we can see, the interesting thing about the app is that it is able to process images and extract the information users are looking for. The most positive thing is that it does it quickly and recognizes texts in any language and reads them in the language desired by the user.
