Re: Anyone Tried Ally?

You have to search for Envision Ally. Also, I wanted to add that Envision Ally is great for things like How much time is left on my Microwave, etc. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/envision-ai/id1268632314 Richard, USA "While striving for perfection, let us do what is possible." -- John Wesley My web site: https://www.turner42.com (sent from my iPhone 16 pro)  On Aug 22, 2025, at 7:44 AM, Julie Hansen <julie.magnoli...@gmail.com> wrote:  When I search for Ally it comes up with banking, finances etc. Am I searching incorrectly?

It is good, and can be entertaining depending on how you describe your AI assistant. I prefer Be My Eyes for detailed descriptions, since they added Siri commands like describe fully with Be My Eyes. However, Siri often then asks "do you want to use Be My Ees, or Messages?" which is beyond stupid, so I say Be My Eyes and it works very well.  can then often save the result in photos and it keeps the description.

It seems like basically an AI assistant but made with accessibility in mind, and with features like OCR, describing images, etc. Hadn’t heard of it before and curious if anyone else has used it.
