Recently the Envision App has become available on the BlindShell Classic 2.
This is great news for owners of the smartphone with buttons. The BlindShell
Classic 2 can be purchased from Vision Ireland.
First, if you are not aware of the BlindShell Classic 2, it is a tactile
smartphone with buttons. It runs on Android software and has access to the
Google Play Store, this allows many apps to be downloaded onto it such as
WhatsApp, Google Lookout, Be My Eyes and the list goes on. It also has its
own apps and extra apps can be downloaded from the BlindShell Catalogue.
And now for BlindShell Classic 2 owners the great Envision app is available
to download from the BlindShell catalogue. In Talking Technology Podcast
Episode 51 <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SjjImC1qrc> , we had an
interview with the CTO of Envision, who told us all about the innovations of
the Envision Glasses and the Envision app. You can listen back anywhere you
get your podcasts or try asking your smart speaker to play "Talking
Technology with V I Labs Podcast".
The Envision app can use the smartphone camera to provide vocal descriptions
of written text, surroundings, and even give help finding objects and more.
People have used the Envision app to read a handwritten birthday card, the
ingredients listed on the back of a cereal box, or even an entire book with
a feature called batch scan. Other useful features include the ability to
scan a barcode or describe a scene in front of you with the help of AI. The
Envision app is available in over sixty languages.
To learn more about the features available through the Envision App on the
BlindShell Classic 2, users should update to the latest software update of
the BlindShell phone to be able to download the newest version of the
Envision app.
If you have a BlindShell Classic 2 and you have downloaded Envision, we
would love to hear about it. You can send a voice note to the Talking
