A company named iVisit who are more known for teleconferencing apps on mobile phones as well as desktops are in the process of creating a new application that assists the blind. The application uses the camera of a mobile phone to detect objects with image recognition and read out aloud what it is looking at. Handy uses for such an application could be to hold the phone over your hand while holding a bank note and have it read out to the the value of the note.
The software is called SeeScan and from the video demonstration below, seems to run very well. Lets hope the final version works as smooth as they show. Check it out below…
