Being blind is one of the most horrible feelings. Microsoft has released a talking camera for blind people or people with low vision. Though the app still needs a bit of fine-tuning, it is a huge technological breakthrough. The app dubbed "Seeing AI" allows the user to analyse its environment by using the app. For example, the app can take photos of people and describe their facial characteristics, estimate their age, emotion and what they are wearing. The app also allows its user to identify and read texts real-time.

Features of the Seeing AI

This powerful app built by Microsoft is loaded with many features that turns the visual world into an audible experience. The following are the features of the talking camera app that will make you green with envy.

1. Speaks texts real-time: The Seeing AI can speak texts as soon as soon as it appears in front of a camera. This feature is mind blowing considering the fact that it has overcome one of the greatest challenges of visually impaired people. This app is very useful and can read texts off books and newspapers, mails, and different inscriptions. You can scan short pieces text and the app will read it loud for you. Watch the video demo below for more illustrations.

2. Captures and reads documents: Seeing AI can provide you with audio guidance to capture a page of a document correctly and reads the document loudly for you after recognizing the texts. Though Seeing AI is not the first app to use Optical Character Recognition technology (OCR), the ability of the app to guide you till you focus your camera right on the text makes it stand out. You can watch the video demo below.
