Hi Daghan,
A question please. Does Supersense read text in languages other than
English?
Kind regards,
Amro

Hello friends,** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:-
Hope you all are healthy and doing well in these tough days that we are going through. We have been working hard to continue making improvements on our Supersense iOS app and I wanted to share the latest updates:
1) We have fixed the problem for iOS versions 11 and 12. Now you can access the app even if you have an earlier version
2) We have improved short text and money recognition and now you can read any types of text or currency faster and will have more accurate results from different camera angles
3) Flash mode selection is added to the settings which automatically adjusts your flashlight to provide better text recognition results
4) An experimental barcode reader is added to Smart Scanner mode. Now you can scan a barcode and hear product details
In the upcoming weeks, we will be improving the barcode scanner with additional information about the products and will add more currencies to the app such as British Pound, Euro’s, Australian and Canadian dollars.
Some of these features are not yet available in the Android version of Supersense. We will make a new release in Android with additional features.
Have you been using Supersense? What else would you like us to work on?
If you haven’t had a chance to try the Supersense yet, you can access it here.

Hello friends,
It's Daghan again, from the Supersense development team. We
have just released some new, cool features on our iOS app and
I wanted to get your feedback about them.
Here is the link:
https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id1484547836?pt=119769173&ct=M2-01&mt=8
Now, the latest version of our Supersense iOS app has:
- A much simpler user interface
- A new Smart Scan mode that automatically detects whether you
want to quickly read a piece of text, a long document or currency
- A Currency mode where you can hear the estimated value of a
banknote. Right now, it only scans US dollars, but we will
soon add UK pounds and Euros
- A Document mode to read longer texts with the assistance of
smart guidance on how to point the camera to find the best
scanning angle.
For people who would like to check out our Android app, here
is the link. Some of these latest features will be added to
our Android app soon too.

Are you a current Supersense user? What do you think about
these new features? What other features do you think could
help this community the most? Please let me know what you think.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Daghan

Hi everyone,
Thanks for the voiceover feedback, we can definitely add
that to our next releases.
What do you guys think about the accuracy and the
simplicity of the app? Especially we are trying to make
smart scanner as efficient as possible to eliminate waste
of time while navigating in complex feature selection
menus. Did you have a chance to try smart mode yet?

I agree with you guys, I prefer to have VoiceOver read
what has been scanned too, it isn’t necessary to use
another voice in my view.

Hi Mo,
I’m with you there. There should always be an option
to turn off self-voicing, or read with the voice of
choice from accessibility settings.
All the best

Hi.
The app is certainly easy to use. Was there a specific
reason why the phone voice was chosen to read out the
text? Could future releases please use voiceover to
read everything? It was rather annoying to have my
preferred voiceover voice reading the various on
screen options, and a separate voice reading the text
and app hints. I do tend to prefer the way that Seeing
AI and envision respect your voiceover options and use
voiceover for reading the app exclusively, instead of
using whatever other default voice is set in settings.
Mo.

Hi Steve,
Thanks for your help! We appreciate any feedback
to develop the most impactful features. We won't
release Super Read for Android but will be adding
most of these cool reading features to Supersense!

Hi Dagham,
Is there going to be a version for Android, or
will you incorporate all this cool stuff into
Supersense? Sense is not bad, but I don’t
think it’s quite there for a reading
experience yet, is it? For beginners anyway.
I love Supersense personally, and have given
feedback to your colleague Emre.
Keep up the good work.
All the best
Steve

Hello friends,
I am Daghan, the product manager of Mediate
which developed the Supersense app helping the
blind to locate objects in the environment.
Many users asked us to offer scanning and
reading features. We heard from many people
that there is a need for simpler, faster,
friendlier, more accurate, and more
comprehensive scanning apps that everyone can
use. In the last few months, I talked to more
than 100 people and conducted in-person
testing with at least 20 people so that we can
offer the simplest and smartest scanning and
reading app to this community.
We finally have a beta version of our new app,
Super Read, available on the App Store. You
can access it here: http://bit.ly/superread1
Super Read can scan and read any type of
physical document with enhanced accuracy. It
has a Smart Scanning mode that automatically
detects the type of document so you don’t need
to waste time to navigate menus.
Super Read will also guide you on how to point
the camera to have the most accurate results.
It will allow you to explore and share the
scanned text to other apps.
In the coming months, we will continue
developing our app with new features such as
handwriting, currency, and barcode reading.
I want to develop the most accessible, the
most useful scanning and reading app for this
community. I would appreciate any feedback you
can provide.
Best,
