Hello friends,
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

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:

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,
