Newswire
Tek Talk welcomes a representative from Envision AI . Envision, an
award-winning assistive technology company, has announced the official
launch of Envision Glasses, which are AI-powered smart glasses for blind and
visually impaired people. Envisions software uses artificial intelligence
(AI) to extract information from images and then speaks the images out loud
so the user has a greater understanding of the environment around them.
Blind and low-vision users can see to read documents at home or work, view
labels while shopping, easily recognize their friends, find personal
belongings at home, use public transport, video call anyone in real time,
and more.
Envision is developed for and together with the visually impaired community.
The app is simple, gets things done and brings the best assistive experience
to blind and low vision users. Simply use your phone camera to scan any
piece of text, your surroundings, objects, people or products and everything
will be read out to you thanks to Envision's smart artificial intelligence
(AI) and Optical Character Recognition (OCR). Now, they have taken things
one big step further and put everything into glasses.
