We take pride in being a resource for our clients and our community. But our clients are often a resource for us as well. During our recent in-house event, our client, John, demonstrated Live Recognition, a feature on the Magnifier app, available for iPhones and iPads. Live Recognition helps users scan their surroundings and provides live descriptions of what is in the camera's view. The Magnifier app is compatible with Apple iOS 18 and later updates and can be downloaded from the Apple Store. Lookout - Assisted Vision is an Android app (available for phones & tablets) that assists blind and visually impaired people in exploring their surroundings, recognizing different objects, reading text, and more. Lookout is accessible in more than 30 languages. It’s available in Andriod 6.0 and later updates and can be downloaded from Google Play. Technology is making our world more accessible. The goal of Live Recognition and Lookout is to help blind and visually impaired people better navigate their environments. To view Live Recognition in action, please check out the video below.
