This app does what others have been trying to do all along. – Seeing AI Review

When I firstsaw this app, I was truly skeptical. How could a free app be better for the blind than an app which costs $100 and an app which has, in a way, been the defacto standard for the blind for years? This app has gone above and beyond my expectations. It takes users like me, who have been blind from birth, into account. I am horrible at aiming my camera to get a good picture of a document, even after years of practice. Seeing AI not only guides me through the photo taking process, without needing to repeatedly tap on my iPhone screen. It also takes the picture automatically. And, because the app helps me aim, I am able to get many more automatic picture takes then quite a few other apps I've tried. If I just want to know what a document is, rather than read the whole thing, using short text is a great option. But the real kicker is the bar code scanner. After years of testing a variety of bar code reading apps, I have had very little success. The audio beeps really help me get accurate scans. I have even been able to identify traditional cans, which have previously been the hardest things for me to scan. That, to me, is amazing. And, the app is free. This almost sounds too good to be true, but it's not.
