Hi Sieghard, remember, this is a very new app, and won’t be up to the standard of seeing AI as yet.
Also, there is still a lot of us, who can’t get the seeing AI app. I hope this app doesn’t go away, as the more choice, and competition out there the better. the app is free, and the more of us, who get behind it, and send in constructive information the better. Excuse any mistakes, as i have just woken up, and have a headache of headaches! Dave.

Wouldn’t be the first time a developer came up with something pretty amazing and then after a while it went away. It will be interesting to try it out, though, and to hear the feedback from others as well as the comparisons to Seeing AI. After all, there are a number of ways to skin a cat so let’s see how these two apps compare.

In that process, I did a deep dive into artificial intelligence and how it can be a helpful tool for processing and conveying visual information. I found that most of what was in the market were simple object recognition apps that were not very practical to use. Hence, we built an app called Envision AI, that takes a context-based approach to this problem. Our app can be currently used to: - Recognise and read texts in their native dialect. - Explain scenes that camera captures in detail. - Train and recognise faces of your friends and family. - Train and recognise your personal objects like wallet, keys or glasses. - Do context-based recognition, that is, taking a picture of a clock will tell you the time, taking a picture of a window will tell you the weather outside, etc. The app is still a beta, but available worldwide. We are constantly trying to understand what features are the most important and valuable and how we can continually improve them. So we would really love it if the community here can give the app a try and provide us with active feedback on what they think of it and how it can be improved. P.S. We understand that we will immediately be compared to Seeing AI and other apps out there. What we can assure you is we are really committed to listening to the community here and work with them to build an app that really really helps them. We are working on this full-time and will be here every day to talk to you. -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
