Envision AI: A Powerful OCR App for the Visually Impaired
Envision AI is an award-winning OCR app designed to assist blind and visually impaired users in leading more independent lives. Developed in collaboration with the visually impaired community, this app is simple to use and offers the best assistive experience. By using your iPhone camera, Envision AI can scan text, objects, people, and surroundings, and then read them aloud to you. This is made possible through the app’s smart artificial intelligence (AI) and Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology.
Envision AI offers a range of features to enhance accessibility. It allows you to instantly read text in over 60 languages, scan paper documents with audio-guided edge detection, import PDFs and images for description and text recognition, and even read handwritten postcards and letters.
Additionally, Envision AI can describe visual scenes, detect colors, scan barcodes for product information, identify people around you, and locate common objects. The app also supports sharing images and documents from other apps for Envision AI to read and describe.
