Speak app now reads text in Hindi, Arabic and Chinese (self.Blind)
submitted by eyalhoc
Hi Friends,
It's Eyal the developer if the Speak spp.
I am doing my best to deliver the best app possible within the constraints of a free app. This means that I cannot use paid cloud services like many other apps use.
Till recently the app only supported latin based languages. Now I managed to connect the app to the amazing Google Lens app, this enables reading text in basically any language.
This new feature does not work with talkback, so that is disappointing for our blind users. I contacted Google and I am looking for a way to fix this.

I work for Guide Dogs UK and have been recommending this app to clients since it's the only free app with OCR. You're doing great work fella! Keep it up!

Thx a lot. Is it possible to enable Urdu? Hindi and urdu are pretty much the same language but Urdu uses arabic script.
