I'm sure I see most of what you write on the app, such improvements so
welcome indeed.
I usually update apps manually so will go update Seeing AI now.
Cheers,

What version number are you using?
Here is a couple bits from earlier this year from the what's new page:
5.5.1
Mar 21
• We have updated the Seeing AI interface to make it faster to access the
features you use the most.
• The app is split into three tabs:
• Read: Provides tools for reading, combining the functionality of the previous
Short Text, Document, and Handwriting channels.
• Describe: Provides rich descriptions of your surroundings, or photos already
on your phone. This combines the functionality of the previous Scene and
Person channels.
• More: Provides access to all the other task-specific channels.
• Plus, various bug fixes under the hood.
5.5
Feb 3
This release includes several bug fixes to make your experience even better.
Recent improvements include:
• Seeing AI can now describe videos! Select "Browse Photos" from the menu, or
share an MP4 file with Seeing AI, and hear it described, scene-by-scene.
• You can now recognize PDF documents with Seeing AI.
• After tapping "More Info" to get a rich description of an image, you can now
ask questions on the same screen.
• Reduced the amount of time it takes to get a rich description, or answers to
your questions.
• Reduced the amount of time it takes to get a rich description.
• When using a large accessibility font size, press and hold on toolbar items
to see a large content preview.
• On the Product channel, both barcodes and Enhanced QR codes can now be
recognized at the same time.
• Plus, various bug fixes under the hood.
I do not know if the same is true in Ireland, but I didn't know you were in
Ireland.

Hi,
Thanks I'll keep a look out for it but it's not in Ireland at least last time I
checked.

There’s a new app, called Live Read. It works instantly to read aloud whatever
print is in front of the camera, instantly. It is free in the App Store.

Hi folk,
There was talk here a little whicle ago about apps for reading print.
I was trying to read witthe Seeing AI but it was only saying document where I'm
salmost sure it used to have a short text section.
I'm told shortt text gives better results.
Can anyone clarify these apps and the best way to read a small print hand-out?
Tony
