Hi,
Yes, it doesn’t quite do what I want.
It says man or woman in front of you, but if there are three people in front of
you, it doesn’t say that. It would be nice if it said one person in front of
you, two to your left for example.
All the best
Steve

Hi Steve,
Thanks for your reply. UK currency recognition is in progress and will be
available very soon.
Also, actually Supersense is able to detect people in both explore and find
modes. Once it sees a person it will announce "Woman" or "Man". You can
manually select person in the find mode and it will tell you if there is a
person in front of you. Please let me know if you experience any further issues
with this problem so I can take another look.
Best,
Daghan

Hi Daghan,
I would love to see the bank note detector, particularly if it works with UK
currency, on Sense for Android.
One thing I would also love, is an extension to the explore mode on Supersense.
It’s great for finding objects, but with social distancing, could it not tell
us when there are people in front of us? Example, you’re waling along, and it
says “Two people in front of you”. This would be really cool.
Or am I missing something? I can get it to detect objects, but not yet people.
Thanks for a great app though, I use it most days on Android.
All the best
Steve

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:

&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? I would
appreciate any feedback.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Daghan

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: https://bit.ly/talksuk
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,
