What's the app that recognizes objects in real time and reads out what they are? (self.Blind)
submitted by boogybearjew
I think it was on the front page of Reddit recently, not so sure how recently, sorry. A friend of mine is blind and I told him I'd seen a real time recognition app on Reddit a while ago but I realized I couldn't find the app even if I googled. Instead it was just TapTapSee, which is good, but he already has that, and I wanted to speed things up for him. Thanks if you can help.

Do you mean aipoly? Not sure if it made the Reddit front page though. www.aipoly.com

Ah, yeah, that's the one! Seriously, big thanks, man. My friend'll love this.

No problem. But don't get your hopes too high. What it does, it does really well. But if you consider the number of objects in your daily life, and then realize that it can only recognize a few hundred thousand items total, it gets much less useful. The colour identifier is nice, though.

True - but still, he'll find a lot of use out of it. I'll just tell him it's not as good as they make it out to be, but it still has uses.

Be my eyes. It connects a blind user with a sighted user who identifies objects and can read things out loud.

That's only on apple products for now, unfortunately

That's a shame. I really like it. I was surprised the first time I used it though because I didn't realize that it was a live stream with another person. They asked me to turn the bottle and I about dropped the phone
