I haven't had time to try this out yet. Here's the product description
from the app store/the product is free.
Description
Aipoly is an object and color recogniser that helps the blind, visually
impaired, and color blind understand their surroundings. Simply point
your phone at the object of interest and press the large toggle button
at the bottom of the screen to turn on the artificial intelligence.
Aipoly will keep running and recognising objects until you switch to a
different tab, or toggle the Aipoly button.
Aipoly is suited for both the visually impaired and the sighted.
● Recognise Objects:
Aipoly can recognise a wide variety of objects at a rate of three times
a second. Simply switch on the Aipoly button and it will start
identifying what it sees through the camera. Recognising objects does
not require an internet connection.
● Recognise Colors:
Aipoly can tell up to 954 colors apart. The list can also be simplified
to a few through the settings if you are unfamiliar with most color names.
● Teach Aipoly:
Aipoly will learn more object if its users help it by writing
descriptions of what it sees. This is a good way for sighted users to
help the visually impaired. Press the pencil button once object
recognition is toggled on to write a description of the object or scene
in focus. Detailed descriptions work best. Over time, Aipoly will begin
learning about more items thanks to its users.
● VoiceOver:
For those with VoiceOver switched on, simply access the text above the
toggle button. For those who are sighted and do not require VoiceOver,
you can access the Speaking Voice setting to listen to what the app can see.
● Voice Modes:
You can switch between different voice modes in the settings page.
Ranging from standard, which says one word at a time, to advanced for
multiple words, to likelyhood and fun, which express the likelyhood of
the item viewed and add additional captions respectively.
● Intelligent Torch:
When Aipoly detects darkness through the camera, it will automatically
turn on the torch so you don't have to worry about lighting. When the
light is switched on, it will turn the torch off.
Aipoly works on:
iPhone 5S
iPhone 6
iPhone 6Plus
iPhone 6S
iPhone 6S Plus
iPad Air and above.
iPad Mini 2 and above.
Disclaimer:
Aipoly is not a medical application, nor a substitute for human or
canine visual assistants. It will not understand every object that you
point it to and will eventually make mistakes on what it sees.
