Re: Seeing AI app from Microsoft
I love the way it helps you scan documents/barcodes; well, for the most part. I love how it helps you align the camera with the product/document, however, I’ve had several issues where I couldn’t get products to scan at all, or had trouble aligning them, so that may just be something I’ll have to play around with. I got it to scan the instruction card from a mix I was going to cook, which my zoomEx always has the hardest time with, and it read it almost perfectly, except it constantly said the recipe called for H cup of water, which it read that as no matter how many times I scanned it. I later got sighted assistance with it, and found out the “H, cup water,” was 1/2 cup water. > On Jul 15, 2017, at 7:44 PM, David & his pack of dogs > <myguidedo...@gmail.com> wrote: > > They must work on its accuracy.

Below is pasted from the description in the Canada Store. Seeing AI is a free app that narrates the world around you. Designed for the blind and low vision community, this ongoing research project harnesses the power of AI to open up the visual world and describe nearby people, text, and objects. Optimized for use with VoiceOver, the app enables you to recognize: • Short Text - Speaks text as soon as it appears in front of the camera. • Documents - Provides audio guidance to capture a printed page, and recognizes the text, along with its original formatting. • Products - Scans barcodes, using audio beeps to guide you; hear the name, and package information when available. (works with iPhone 6 and later) • People - Saves people’s faces so you can recognize them, and get an estimate of their age, gender, and emotions. • Scenes (early preview) - Hear an overall description of the scene captured. • Images in other apps - Just tap “Share” and “Recognize with Seeing AI” to describe images from Mail, Photos, Twitter, and more. Seeing AI is built to help you achieve more by leveraging the power of the cloud and artificial intelligence. As the research progresses, more channels may be added. Visit http://SeeingAI.com for more details and instructional videos. Available in the U.S., Canada, India, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Singapore. Coming soon to more countries.

Re: Seeing AI app from Microsoft
When testing Seeing AI, KNFB Reader, and Prizmo Go, on a complex magazine page with multiple columns and fonts, KNFB does the best. Surprisingly, however, both Prizmo Go, and Seeing AI, do better on simple pages. Seeing AI really shines on short text and bar code. I especially like short text locating signage when I am out and about.

RE: Seeing AI app from Microsoft
They must work on its accuracy. It had me 18 years older then I really am and my wife 6 years older. I am listed as a 76 years young man with grey hair and a beard. I’m greying at the temples but, only 58 years young. It is still a good app, though. Just question its accuracy in facial recognition.

Designed for the blind and low vision community, this ongoing research project harnesses the power of AI to open up the visual world and describe nearby people, text, and objects. Optimized for use with VoiceOver, the app enables you to recognize: • Short Text - Speaks text as soon as it appears in front of the camera. • Documents - Provides audio guidance to capture a printed page, and recognizes the text, along with its original formatting. • Products - Scans barcodes, using audio beeps to guide you; hear the name, and package information when available. (works with iPhone 6 and later) • People - Saves people’s faces so you can recognize them, and get an estimate of their age, gender, and emotions. • Scenes (early preview) - Hear an overall description of the scene captured. • Images in other apps - Just tap “Share” and “Recognize with Seeing AI” to describe images from Mail, Photos, Twitter, and more.

RE: Seeing AI app from Microsoft
I loaded the app on my IPhone and took a picture of my wife. Being married to me has aged her by 6 years, according to the app. It had her age 6 years older then she really is.
