Seeing AI for Positive User Reviews
✓ Crashing since last updateLove this app and rely on it heavily as a blind user Unfortunately since the November update it crashes back to the desktop every time I open it on my iPhone 5.Version: 2.3.3
✓ Amazing app for accessible usersMy dad is visually impaired. He uses an iPhone with VoiceOver. I had him try out this app and he loves the ability to read documents on the fly. In the past he had to scan them with his printer and then use Kurzweil to read them out. This is a game changer for him and I think will give him a lot more freedom.Version: 1.0
✓ Absolutely awesome!Very very clever. Well done Microsoft!.Version: 3.6.3
✓ Excellent tool!So useful in so many daily activities. Probably the most useful bits have been the text recognition for me, but there’s just lots of possibility here, and I hope the developers continue to imagine and grow the product! Thank you for making my life as a blind person, easier!.Version: 5.1
✓ Video gameThis works very well with console games like PlayStation four games or if you have a PlayStation five or an Xbox to read stuff in the games for you it works very well you should really try it for yourself it makes playing video games a lot easier than getting somebody to come in the room and read it for you.Version: 4.1
✓ CurrencySo happy to see you finally added Philippine peso. Thanks much One more thing I have a suggestion if possible can you put a tone or vibrate notification in the app to let us know that the app is still open so we won’t forget to close it because the camera will still be on sometimes and I forget. Cash reader has such a thing and it’s very good because you do know you need to close the app..Version: 4.2
✓ Version 2.0 crashesJust updated to the latest version 2.0 and it crashes on my iPhone 6 and iPhone 5 running iOS 10.3.3. Please fix it asap. Thanks..Version: 2.0
✓ MercithankyouMercithankyou.Version: 5.0
✓ Great App! A few difficult issues for the blindWhen you open the app if there was a better way to access channels by gesture it would be very beneficial. My blind friend received notification of software update. App became unusable because she can’t see where to press in the notification box to remove the notification and begin using the app. Either don’t have the notification appear or give a gesture to accept or dismiss the notification to begin using the app. Pause button too close to channel bar. Accidental press too easy. This is a wonderful app and amazing technology but there are several improvements that would actually help blind people..Version: 2.1
✓ Absolutely love this appAs a blind person I cannot begin to tell you how convenient this app makes things from identifying money, getting cooking instructions off of products helping to identify scenes around you, I have even used it during computer issues to diagnose what’s on my screen, it’s very stable which anyone that uses VoiceOver knows that’s saying a lot, LOL definitely a well thought out app never thought I would be able to Denna five photos the way I have even points out famous people if it recognizes them and breeds of animals to try to give you a better description of the photo awesome job thank you very much.Version: 2.0.1
✓ Super helpful!The scene and person functions aren’t totally accurate but the text and barcodes are (I think these two are the most useful as well) Converts the picture to text super accurately and very quickly. I’d like to be able to change the voice’s speed..Version: 1.3
✓ You should read this I highly approve of the CI appHello I am blind and I use the Seeing AI app. It works. My only complaint is that we can’t wear a camera or and it is in progress to use the world setting for indoor use only at the moment it would make sense to me that person could make maybe glasses that you could wear with the success of the Seeing AI app in them or you could hold your phone up and it could describe the world around you, and if it could get good enough at this, you could walk around and be told some of how to get around you were still use your cane with the other hand, it also might be good if you had a FaceTime option and you had a live person that could come through and see what you’re looking at on the phone when your loan so they can describe things for you should be another good option for them to add and how come, they’re not helping the blind get those cars that I should do drive we’re supposed to be helping the disabled I approve of the Seeing AI app if you could get the cameras in glasses and have that app and maybe a FaceTime person person with ice blind could possibly navigate streets they would still want to pay attention with their cane.Version: 5.2
✓ ThanksThis app is amazing! It has really enhanced my life! Only thing is that there are no ethnic descriptions when images are described… this doesn't give an accurate impression of people in images. Needs changing….Version: 2.0.1
✓ Really useful appI use this app every day and would not like to be without it. I am always surprised with the speed of the short text facility. Also I really like that it is able to make a good attempt with handwriting. I am slightly disappointed with colour recognition though I am sure this will improve. Can’t thank the developers enough..Version: 2.0.1
✓ Frank SladeTWIMC: Pet peeve. Perhaps I am the only one with this issue but, the moment I hear “hold steady“, is the very moment when I begin to jitter. It’s kind of like when someone tells you, “don’t look down“. what if you were to skip the“hold steady“ command, and go straight to take the picture?.Version: 5.1
✓ OMG!!!I’m legally blind and have started using this app a couple days ago and it’s brilliant!! Now I can read menus independently and lots of other things! Thank you so much for making this app! It has helped so much!! Thanks for reading my review😁.Version: 3.5.2
✓ Now I can read anythingSo easy to use! I've been able to read vending machine info, My t-shirts, train station signs and info, and train numbers on the train as it is pulling into the station. The app easily reads touch screens and button panels,. There now needs to be a way to match button text with a particular button on the panel. This is easier with a large vending machine, harder with an appliance such as a radio or washing machine. If someone wears glasses they have to put their picture in twice with and without the glasses. It would be awesome if the sceens app could report relavent information such as an empty seat, trash can, vending machine, all the things you want to find when using public transportation and facilities..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Great app… Keep up the good work :-)This app is such a game changer in terms of the high level of quality accessibility that is being offered for free. This is awesome especially for students, who would not be able to afford high-priced apps to do some of these things that Microsoft is offering at no charge. Great job… Two thumbs up! Keep up the great work!.Version: 2.0
✓ New features in Seeing AI not working as expectedI totally like this app. I’ve been using it ever since I first found out about it. However, I’m not thrilled with the new features that are available. This is because, they don’t work as expected and or the app crashes when I go to run it. At least the app crashes when I go to run these new features. This includes the world view as well as the indoor navigation view. Microsoft, you definitely need to fix this so that these features won’t crash out..Version: 5.0
✓ Good, but...I can use it to read documents, school work, age and objects. The only thing is the light setting it pointless and annoying. You can even use it probably. Apart from that I love the app.Version: 2.3.2
✓ Thx probably techmoanGreat app..Version: 4.1.1
✓ Fantastic appBrilliant app that makes things so accessible for visually impaired people.Version: 2.0.1
✓ Great app I hope this keeps upI love this application especially when I seem to be in a jam. I can have mail read to me as well as products that I have purchased from the store. There’s just one small complaint. I noticed today that when I scanned a barcode, the app crashed. I’m not sure if Microsoft will continually work on this app so that updates can continue and things that I have mentioned above will not happen. I certainly hope so. Keep up the good work..Version: 2.3.3
✓ Actually pretty accurateThe only reason why I downloaded this was to see if it could register my penis sadly it did not must have been too small ☹️ but the other objects I pointed it at were really accurate also how will a blind person find the button to take the picture you should add the feature where you press the volume button to take the pic.Version: 2.2
✓ Ability to use offlineI find seeing AI really useful. The only problem i have is that i have to rely on the internet to use it. This is very inconvenient as I don’t always have an internet connection. Would there be a way of using the app offline without having to rely on an internet connection..Version: 3.1
✓ Great app!This app has the potential to be greater and better! The app helps me out when it comes to reading text; either from a label or my laptop screen! it's an awesome app. I recommend this app..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Great for Dyslexia and reading problemsI have been recommending this as the easiest iPhone app for those with dyslexia and other difficulties with reading. Unfortunately the most recent update October 21 has meant it no longer died it’s job. I have reported this, but not received a response.Version: 4.1.8
✓ Great! But it could use some improvementI have noticed that when into scanning products, it does not recognise some Australian made logos. I believe that it would be better if it recognised all products. as it will help out a lot. Over all it is a very great app..Version: 2.0.1
✓ Seeing AII am so pleased to see that you made this up and it's great that it's been so important and so helpful I love the Prague channel and when they move the camera to the barcode it reads it out loud so I would like to say thanks for making this up I would really appreciate it if you could still update the app I love it so so much we changed the product channel for the first time on my iPhone and it works so darn well and because of all this I am totally reading it five stars thank you so so much.Version: 4.1.8
✓ No complaints just gratitude it’s free!Thank you this app not only is free but has helped me out in a pinch. Yes it can read my mail, read the Cannes I am holding in my hand and other grocery items. There should be no complaints because after all it is free!.Version: 4.1.8
✓ Great app ...This is a great app. It has many very useful features, but i cannot seem to get the document reader to work for me since the latest update. Both on my iPhone and iPad, when I updated the app to the latest version (version 3), and try using the document reader I always get the message “sorry, something went wrong, please try again in a few moments “..Version: 3.0
✓ A Dream Come TrueThis app is literally a dream come true for not only people who are blind or low vision but also for the profoundly dyslexic or otherwise print disabled people. My son is profoundly dyslexic and despite being 14 years old his ability to read print with his eyes is less than a first grade equivalent. We have tried and use many apps and other technologies to help him access the world of print. Despite his struggles, he is a voracious consumer of audiobooks and this app allows him to access print around the environment with so much less effort than other apps. It also has very good accuracy. I also think the facial expression recognition feature has potential to assist people with Autism. Frankly, this app is just plain wonderful!!!!.Version: 3.2.2
✓ BrilliantA friend recommended this app to me, I love it! I've just used it to scan the barcode on my suncream with the product channel, and I've read the instructions on the label with the document channel. Keep up the good work!.Version: 4.1.1
✓ Should be quite...... useful for those of us with limited sight. Did some basic testing, and it’s not perfect, but what is? 😉 Wasn’t great with the colours, but I suspect that’s because the light was too bright from the phone, and it was bouncing-off reflections of that light, making darker colours appear brighter, or altering the colour detected completely. For those of us with NO colour vision, this would likely cause issues, but I usually get family to help me when needed 👍. The product ID worked on the 3 products I tested, it was flawless 😀. The text/document test was ok, but as usual for these talking apps, I had to slow it down to make it more legible. Overall, a very useful app, but needs work in some areas 😊👍..Version: 2.0.1
✓ Thank you for giving me back my independenceI recently became blind. Your application has allowed me to be able to read my mail and read products that I have at home on my shelves and allowed me to pay the taxi driver using your money identifier without fear of being ripped off. I would like to see the barcode scanner improved with more product availability. A lot of times it just says no description available. I would love to see this app available on the Mac so that I can scan my mail using my scanner. Just a thought :-).Version: 4.1.1
✓ It's so helpful!I'm visually impaired and I always had to ask people to read things to me or discribe things for me. That wasn't always easy because there wasn't always people around me. But when I found this app I was like yay this will help me a lot! And it is helping me so much! Now when I want something discribed for me all I have to do is go to Seeing AI. Thank you so much for making this app!.Version: 4.1.1
✓ Seeing is believingI love the app. It s very fast and seems quite accurate at reading text. Seems faster than KNFB. The only issue I have had is reading barcodes from ALDI products. Some suggestions, Australian & New Zealander currencies. Add ability to read QR Codes..Version: 2.0.1
✓ I! Love! This! App!I’ve tested out all the features Microsoft has put into the app and so far all of them are up to par. It would be nice, if there would be a way that you could use the USB port to link up to freedom scientific‘s jaws and use it as an OCR device. It would be a way cheaper, and far more accurate Version of the purl camera that ships with openbook or any other program that freedom scientific ships. More people with Windows PC’s use jaws, than any other screen reader such as narrator, NVDA, system access, or any other windows screen reader. Thanks..Version: 3.2.2
✓ Empowering mobilityVery infrequently does an app come along which can have a real impact on improving the day-to-day lives of visually impaired people, many have tried and often don’t succeed. Since it’s first launch in the UK Seeing AI has become a permanent fixture on my home screen for the main reason that it is helpful. As a visually impaired person, simple tasks such as reading product labels atop shelves In a large store can become both a complicated and embarrassing experience; however, with Seeing AI’s short text channel it becomes much easier to independently find what I’m looking for. Meanwhile, the document channel can be very useful if there is a printed page to read, I have found a relative consistency in the accuracy of the scanning and for standard printed documents it has proved to be very accurate on many occasions. Version 2 has also brought a number of enhancements such as multiple currency recognition and colour detection, which could be really useful for some people. As of right now, Seeing AI isn’t ‘perfect’ as there are still some enhancements and needed improvements concerning factors especially regarding the ability to read different types of text, such as on a destination display board or picking out information with busy documents such as a restaurant Menu. However, Seeing AI has a great team of committed people behind them and have already made significant usability enhancements such as the use of 3D Touch on newer iPhone models to quickly reach a desired channel quickly. Overall, for anyone who has a visual impairment Seeing AI is more than just a worthwhile download. It is a genuinely useful mobility aid, which in some cases is able to allow more tasks to be undertaken independently. Whilst there are still some improvements and enhancements which can be made to improve the experience, for the price of nothing there is no reason not to give Seeing AI a chance..Version: 2.0.1
✓ Absolute best OCR app ever.This app beats the KNFB reader hands down. With KNFB reader you have to constantly be hitting that field of view report button to get the relative position. Seeing AI lets me leave the document I'm scanning in one place while I adjust the camera angle. Once all four corners of the page are in the camera lens, it takes the picture and eliminates guesswork. The text recognition is not perfect, but still much better than any other OCR app I've used..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Great app but be carefulGreat app as my mother is nearly blind. But be aware the notes part of the application is reading the new plastic UK £20 notes as £10 notes..Version: 3.3.2
✓ Very helpfulI am sight impaired and this app helps me to read all text papers or any text. Before I use to take picture of any text and zoom to read even at train stations it took me three times of time to travel to my destinations. Some times I pretended like is my first time to ask anyone, and many times I was asked why i am not wearing glasses. How to explain them that the cause i am partly blind is because radio therapy, no glasses can help me. This app it helps me anywhere..Version: 5.1.1
✓ Oh my Seeing AICannot thank Microsoft enough for this set of accessibility aids in Seeing AI, now including handwriting recognition. If you’re VI and haven’t downloads this app do it now, it’s a true life changer!.Version: 2.0
✓ Good for human faces!Strangely I have more luck recognising handwriting than documents. Great for faces though. Ideas for future development: 1. Ability to recognise pets / check where they are in the room (good for cats that are silent and don’t come when called) as currently only works with people. 2. QR reader 3. Ability to describe scenes on screenshots from websites / photos already in phone memory..Version: 3.0
✓ I love this app!Ever since day one when I downloaded this app, I've known I'd write a review, but kept forgetting. so today when I needed to identify my debit card and used Seeing AI to do just that, I stopped everything to write this review. thank you, Microsoft! the short text option has been wonderful for quickly sorting unopened mail, and the document reader has been fabulous for reading mail. I've used the app to quickly identify food items and the best part? A cookbook I have that my mom made for me before she died that that other OCR app couldn't read. I can now read my mom's old recipes. Thank you, thank you Microsoft!.Version: 1.2.1
✓ Overall a very useful and important appUpdate: someone recently asked me about useful apps for the blind. I told them that seeing AI app was like the Swiss Army knife for blind people. I think that is the Best way to describe this app. I love several of the channels that this app provides. The product, document and short text are great. The document channel especially is great. I purchase another app a while back for $100 and this app works better. I love that I do not have to presss a button to take the picture. I found the person channel fun, but not very useful. I do not find the color channel accurate. I have better success with tap tap See for colors. I used the color channel on a white shirt and when it was on the sleeves it would say grey and on the front or back of the shirt it would say brown. The currency channel is just as good as the other apps available It is very accurate..Version: 2.3.2
✓ Short Text has helped me a lot in my lifeI’m a user from China .I like Short Text very much .Although this app don’t support Chinese ,I can’t download in my country’s App Store,I still find a way to get this app ,because it’s very useful for me .I often use short text to recognize some papers such as invoice ,menu ,note,etc...So I hope you can download in China’s store and support Chinese in the future version ..Version: 3.3.2
✓ Some suggestionsHi Microsoft, Seeing AI is a really good app. That’s why I rated it 5 stars. I have some suggestions to help improve the app. 1. Add a channel called Pets, or allow animals to be recognised in the Person channel 2. I don’t write very neatly, so, if you read this, can you please make an update on the Handwriting channel and make it recognise messy writing Well these are the only suggestions. Hopefully you read this and make my suggestions in an upcoming update. Thanks.Version: 4.0
✓ Many uses!!!Love this app so much. I like how it has so many different uses all in one app. I hate when I have to download a bunch of apps that I don't even know will work, but this one does work for sure. I still can't find my money reader, so I just use the currency preview mode. Thank you guys for thinking of us and our community!.Version: 2.1
✓ GreatGreat work Maybe add navigation assistance?.Version: 1.1
✓ Wonderful app:Hello: I am a totally blind person who thoroughly enjoys using the Seeing AI app. Just a quick note to let you know that I absolutely love the Seeing AI app. I absolutely love it's many features, and it is truly a life-changing app. I use the short text feature when I want to find out who may have sent me mail, or if I want to find out something about a flyer or something like that. I also really enjoy using the product feature where I can read information about everything from bags of skittles to chips and other things such as canned goods. Your app as all the other readers of it's type completely beaten. Once again, I absolutely love it. Keep up the great work. I'm a fan for life..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Needs a PDF channel.I truly love this iPhone application As someone who is completely blind. I have only one thing that could make this app better. Please add a PDF conversion channel. I cannot even say how many times I receive digital documents from professors and others in my college experience. This is just something that is essential for me personally, but if it was able to be added to the app that would be great..Version: 2.3.2
✓ Wow!I see so many possibilities for this app. It’s very user friendly. My 5 year old nephew loved the People part and was taking pictures of everyone! When showing it to colleagues, they immediately planned on installing it for their elderly parents. Office Lens is a little more accurate for full document reading, but the short text works great! I often recommend it and use it myself, even though I’m not visually impaired. The development team is amazing and responsive to feedback. Way to go!.Version: 2.0.1
✓ Seeing AI app will not openI gave this at five stars because it’s a great app for the blind and visually impaired. But now I’m having a problem with the Seeing AI app it will not open. I depend on this app a lot for reading my mail and I am very aggravated because I cannot do that anymore. Can you please give me some suggestions on what I should do thanks..Version: 5.1.1
✓ This is an amazing app!!!I’ve got this app today and it is really amazing. It’s very helpful to people with visual impairment. It’s so useful because now I know what peoples expressions are and what different notes are without need to ask for help. I will definitely be recommending this to my other visually impaired friends🥰😂.Version: 3.0
✓ Great appGreat app for people with vision loss. I highly recommend it. It is free so no complaints!.Version: 3.3.1
✓ Love The App So UsefullGreat and useful app from seeing text far away and reading letters Suggestions: • Make it so scene channel is in real-time meaning you don’t have to take a picture • Settings to change voice speed, gender and pitch • Add support for written text and Scribbly text • Support for non wifi/mobile network version meaning you don’t need internet for the app • Older IOS version support iOS 9 and iPad support.Version: 1.3
✓ Actually really useful for a blind userThe short text function is particularly useful and impressive: very responsive and works offline!.Version: 2.3
✓ ImpressiveIts works so well that its almost creepy !.Version: 1.3
✓ Rivals KNFB reader in many waysThe short text reader is very quick and mostly accurate. Great for on the fly reading of bottles lotions and things like that. The document reader is very cool. You just hold it over the document and wait for it to take the picture as you were just. The other tabs did some work that’s why I only gave it a four star rating. It’s nice that when the document is processed it even keeps most of the formatting. KNFB reader does not do that. It just runs everything together. Very nice product. I wonder how long it will be free?.Version: 2.2
✓ This app has changed my life.This app has changed my life. I can now read signs when I am out and about instantly. The app is easy to use and simply works. I highly recommend this app..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Wonderful App!!My brother is blind and has been living independently for a few years now. Occasionally I'll head over and get a few questions -- maybe which flavor of a product is which. Maybe he received a few dollars back and he didn't know which was the 5 and which was the 1. This app is able to help him with almost all of those questions, help make his life a little easier, and move him closer towards independence. It's very generous of Microsoft to offer this app for free to help the blind!.Version: 3.4
✓ FlawlessThis App works well on iPhone 8 and is extremely accurate. Recognises faces, text from afar and product barcodes. It is fast. Really fast. Could not fault and kudos to the devs who created it..Version: 1.3
✓ Thank youThis is less a review and much more a “Thank You” to the team who conceived of and developed this app..Version: 4.3.8
✓ Equally good for dyslexicsEqually good for those with dyslexia..Version: 3.2.2
✓ I can read again!I have actually spent my first afternoon in literally years reading a physical book that I can actually touch and flip the pages myself. No electronic except for the iPad and this app! I am so thankful for this app! It needs some work in some areas, but essentially, this does everything I need to do. Even reading prescriptions is a breeze!!.Version: 5.2
✓ Wreckin’ the Sighted!I use this app for tons of stuff! No more KNFB Reader!. It helps me with clothing selection with colors, I spot-check my mail with short text so I don’t have to sit down with Kurzweill until I know it’s not JUNK! I can use Document for obvious stuff, and the Product for re organizing my kitchen cabinet & putting away GROCERIES—It isn’t as up to date as an I.D. Mate, but it isn’t $1200 either!! I even use it to see if I get the TV on when I get lost in the TV vs. Cable-box or Apple TV fight. I EVEN use it to see if I have any BIOS POST errors, or to see if Windows is UPDATING or such when my PCs take forever to BOOT! Needs some flourishes to be added, and I have a few suggestions, (already sent in!) but I try and get ev’body to think of and find new ways to use this app. Microsoft— if you need a Rep / Presenter to travel to conventions, Here I Am!.Version: 2.0.1
✓ Letter readerHelping my blind friend to use this app. He has been ‘reading’ his post for the first time, and is very excited by this app. He wants to ask: In Documents program Where are the photographed letters stored? How can I find them to read again? How do I delete letters already stored? Would be easier to turn camera on/off WITHIN App. instead of in SETTINGS. Also tapping to change programs as the gesture doesn’t always work. Looking forward to an update..Version: 2.1
✓ Absolutely Incredible!I use this with my musical keyboards all the time, which have menus and windows that wrap around from top to bottom and therefore can’t be reliably navigated. My clothes are no longer mismatched and folding and sorting money is now much more managable. Best of all, my cables are color-coded for easy setup on a live gig, and now I have no problem with setup. Oh, and my little dog loves to be recognized too..Version: 3.7
✓ CurrencyBest app for the visually impaired community. It helps on a lot of things like reading products, documents and being able to distinguish currency. The app has also helps me with indoor navigation. I would love for this app to integrate honduras lempiras currency, it will be easy for other blind people to have low resources that aren’t able to pay for other apps that requires payments to read money thanks for reading this review..Version: 5.1.1
✓ Amazeballs!I am not blind, but I always love to see new technology. This app is, for lack of a better word, amazing. It can recognize people once you enter their face into its memory. It reads barcodes and tells you what the product is, and it can read written or printed text. And it's free! Thanks MS for making a great product..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Great app!Love this app. Makes a huge difference when working with my blind students. Is there an iPad version too? Thanks.Version: 2.2
✓ Very ImpressedThis app was recommended to us by the CNIB. App works great. Couple things to note is that I am trying this app so I can work through it with my wife who is blind, so the review is from a person with vision essentially trying to understand what it may be like for someone with vision loss to use. I was surprised how well the different functions worked. Ie scene, currency, document, short text, product etc. The product option I found had information for 90 percent of the items I scanned. ( scanned almost everything in the house with a bar code ) Some of the scanning etc was finiky but that is to be expected I thought. Different lighting, background contrast and angles I found effected some pictures and scanning, but that is the same when viewing something with good eyes. If I had a dollar for every time I disagreed with my wife over the Color of something when she could see I could have retired. I would not expect my phone to get it right 100% of the time. I found the read back and pronunciation portion of the app to be difficult to understand at times. Some words were hard to understand as it went quickly and pronounced somewhat weird. I have not fine tuned my hearing though and I have not yet experimented a ton with the voiceover options on my phone to see if they function in the app. If not it would be good to have the option to speed up and slow down the speech within the app and different voice options would be a treat. ( Did not notice these features within the app while using yet ). As well I was able to see the back button or the take a picture button within the different modes, but without vision you will need to learn where the buttons are etc. Product scanning and currency did it automatically with an audible tone which was great. It would be nice if the app spoke to you and indicated were key buttons are within the app. The document feature will tell you to move left or right etc which is a handy function to get it aligned properly. Again as mentioned earlier I am not sure if the voice over function on the phone will speak and indicate where key buttons are or not but it would be great if the app did it on its own. I think the most important features for myself were that 1.) the app functions great for the most part and gives someone with a visual impairment the ability to read mail, scan currency, get an idea of their surroundings etc which provides a level of confidence and independence for the user which to me is priceless. 2.) the app and all its functions depending on you current iOS system are free. There was no monthly subscription or life time subscription which was great. No doubt there is a cost to developing and improving an app such as this, but it was greatly appreciated that it worked as well as it does and for free. Can’t wait to see how this app progresses in the future and am looking forward to future updates with improvements..Version: 2.3.3
✓ A very powerful toolI can scan my mail and identify money with this easily, which makes it a cut above the rest of these sorts of apps. It's sometimes not the best for reading a very long document, but I can at least tell if my mail is junk or if I need to hold onto it. Moreover, the barcode reader is a nice touch. Its not the fastest thing ever to find that pesky UPC but you can do it. Overall this is highly recommended for most quick OCR and scanning uses. Download it and give it a whirl, I think you'll be impressed!.Version: 3.3.2
✓ Blind Chicks ViewPro’s - • Does what it says, how it says without glitches or ads. • Doesn’t try to profit off the disability of others, giving us what comes free to others. Con’s - • People Recognition has to be done by taking their picture & many refuse to allow that. It would be easier if it can be done by a previously taken photo. This way permission isn’t needed to know who is around you! • Vague description on objects & animals. Would love to know if it’s my dachshund or Chihuahua eating or just came in, I already know both are dogs! Tips - • To be a navigational assistance as well can erase the need of multiple apps & can be the one stop shop for the blind! • Adding the option to use previous taken photos to recognize those around us. I have been blind 6yrs & have used this app for 4 of them years. Sometimes I forget I’m blind due to this app! I recommend it on every device with a blind operator!.Version: 4.0
✓ Beats the pants off KNFB ReaderThe OCR on this app is outstanding. Much more accurate than the others I have tried. And so versatile! I had a Pen Friend I was using to label products in the kitchen. Don’t need that anymore. This app not only tells you what the product is from reading the barcode, it can also give you package information such as directions for preparation. Are use it to read signs in the hallways of buildings and on the street. And I can freeze frame text in a video and read that, too. I literally use it every single day. Thank you, Microsoft!.Version: 1.3
✓ Good overallOverall quite useful, does make mistakes especially with products however, and every time there’s a new update you are forced to go through all the menu categories and dismiss the tutorial each time, but other than that it’s all right..Version: 4.3
✓ This is greatFinally something useful for us.Version: 2.0
✓ Most useful app in my phone right now.I would recommend this app to anyone who is completely blind, or low vision like me. The best parts of this app for me are it’s ability to read short text on the fly, or capture entire documents in just a few seconds. This app rivals paid apps like DigitEyes and KNFBReader. I can’t speak for KNFBReader as I don’t own that app, but SeeingAI, in my experience, detects products just as good or even better than DigitEyes, as for it’s recognition of text on paper or a computer screen, I’ve not had any complaints about it. Things that need improvement are the money reader, scene recognition, and color recognition. Those features are relatively new, so I expect them to improve with updates. The app gets a five star recommendation from me, for anyone with even a slight visual impairment..Version: 2.0.1
✓ Best app for blind and visually impaired that I’ve ever seenAbsolutely love this app I use it all the time because whenever I buy groceries sometimes I may forget what I bot I need to figure out where to put it but sometimes it is hard for me to read the letters on boxes and things either because the letters are too small or the letters are too different from just normal print text seriously love this app. Thankyou! The only thing that I would say I would like to have if it’s even possible is I have a very hard time with expiration dates I always have to have someone come down and read it for me and I have not found a single app that has been able to find and read expiration dates don’t know if that’s possible if not that’s fine it would just be nice thing to have I’m even very skeptical about eating things in my fridge and pantry just because I don’t know if it’s any good or not and I don’t wanna have to call someone to say hey can you come tell if this is good or not so it definitely is a real problem for me don’t really know what else to do so if that is a feature that is possible to be added it would be great but again I very much love this app it has made my life so much easier thank you again.Version: 4.0.1
✓ Camera not working with all productsI am a completely blind user of this app. I love the app 😊 I use it with voice over the screen mirror on Apple products with my iPhone. The only problem that I am seeing is it does not do a good job when you try to use it with those 2 L bottles of pop that people get Voice is not reading me any of the information the camera isn’t working and whether I use the short text or document mode it doesn’t work and doesn’t help and also voiceover is having trouble. It doesn’t say hold steady every time to know the cameras in the right place and lined up it’s not telling me every single time I think it’s a bug please fix all this if you can and add another mood for reading labels on 2 L bottles of pop. Thank you..Version: 5.2.1
✓ Incredibly handy app for the visually impaired!I won’t write much here, because for those of you who are interested and who are looking for this app, they will know exactly what it does and what it is, however I just want to say a big thank you to Microsoft for finally releasing this incredibly useful app here in the UK. I have been using the version of the app available in the US for some time now, and would find it impossible to live without it! Many of the features such as product recognition, short text and document functions are vital for my everyday practice IT and independence and I look forward to future updates/additional features as they become available. Thank you again for a great app..Version: 1.3
✓ Much potential for the futureThis app contains high potential for the future attach this app to a head set like band with a built in camera and more advanced commands and this could change how blind people go about their day to day life!.Version: 3.3.2
✓ Extra ordinary!Remember the days of standalone scanning machines and the minutes we had to wait for each single page of error filled readings. This app is nothing short of miraculous and it's ability to read in real Time with 99% accuracy is nothing short of miraculous. Thank you Microsoft keep up the good work! If you could add Hebrew as a language that would be much appreciated.Version: 1.2.1
✓ Makes my life a little bit easierThis app makes my life much easier. While not being totally blind but with about 5% vision I can still see the little icons in the bottom. Haven’t used everything yet but the short text, document reader, currency, and color has come in very handy. You know you don’t want to look silly and where mismatch clothes lol. So I just use the product tab and figured out there was another icon that it would read me more information. The short text doesn’t always read the instructions well for heating but the extra product info gave me all the information I needed. This app matched with my Alexa microwave/oven/air fryer is going to be absolutely marvelous together. Thank you for this app and thank you for continuing to update it..Version: 4.1.4
✓ A great app very helpful for meThank you.Version: 4.3.1
✓ SamsungThis is a fantastic app and can help many people who are visually impaired but, I do think that it should be on Samsung for people who maybe can not afford a apple phone ect..Version: 2.3.3
✓ Made my life a lot easierThis app has definitely made my life a lot easier. I love the fact that you can scan printed documents and have it read out loud to you. I really hope they continue to improve this app. It’s going to help a lot of people.Version: 1.3
✓ Support Arabic languageIt’s excellent app for visual impaired and blind people, I wish in near future that seeing AI will support Arabic language..Version: 3.4
✓ The team behind this deserves a honorary awardMicrosoft did AMAZING with this app. This app changed the life's of my visually impaired students. This is the premier and most powerful AI tool that I have ever seen. And the app is free without adds. It is obvious that Microsoft created this app as a service to the community, rather than just another paycheck. Thank you so much Microsoft..Version: 3.7.1
✓ Very usefulThis app is very useful to help individuals to be independent, In all its features. I must say the only criticism I can think of at this time is the person recognition option definitely requires more research and development to be more effective in its functions. It is definitely great and fun during parties, in the way it is at this time..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Game. Changer.Wow. This app is pretty cool. Works pretty good with recognizing documents written on multiple surfaces. I even use it to read the TV Guide on my television. Quick, easy, and friendly interface the different modes are awesome haven't really checked them out yet. Looking forward to for sure. Thank you..Version: 1.0
✓ Face recognitionAbsolutely love this app! Didn’t even think there was apps out here like this until today when I was on the phone with a friend. She told me that some of her friends use it and I had never heard of it. Only problem I have is with the face recognition… The age it gives you in face descriptions is way off. For example I used a photo of my boyfriend earlier that was in my camera roll and had it describe the photo. It said he was 35 based on facial looks. I might not see very well but I know my boyfriend is only 23 and doesn’t look nowhere near that old… That need some improving other than that the app is amazing! Thank you!.Version: 2.0.1
✓ Winner!Love this app. I lost my vision three years ago and was told that this app is very useful. I use it almost daily on the go in at home. Everything works pretty seamless except for the color reader which can be kind of an accurate at times. It would be amazing if you guys can add some thing that would be able to read digital clocks. Unfortunately a lot of my devices in my home have digital clocks like my stove my washing machine my thermostat etc. I do use a lot of smart devices in my home but some of them are not able to be hooked up to my smart devices. So it would be pretty cool if I could hold the phone in front of the stove to see what temperature the oven is on or how much time is left on the washing machine etc. Overall absolutely love this application. Keep up the good work.Version: 4.1.8
