Would you be interested in an application that could read labels on food products? (self.Blind)
submitted by Gheto_rhino
So an application that would check for allergens and nutritional info. Or even just the name of a product. If you were to use this program what other features would you want and how would you want it to control?

No. We already have free apps for that. Thanks for asking though!

Which apps do this?

Also “Be My Eyes” - that’s what I use.

try any of the below apps in AppleVis. There's too many to list. Seeing AI is one...

No. There's more than 5 free apps for this. I'm not downloading another one. Thanks for asking though! What you could make, using an API, is an accessible version of a website or service that is not accessible in app form. Reddit is a good example. Check out an app called Distopian. Now that's an app I will pay for. Make a previously inaccessible service accessible.

Which are the best free apps for this?

Too many to list. Just look through the below. I'm not downloading another one of these apps when so many exist. Why bother? Look through the below.

Or......can we please have an app like BeMyEyes/BeSpecular for Mac/Windows?
Now that is something we don't currently have which could be incredibly useful.

I second this. Hell, if Aira could be ported to windows also, that would be kick ass! Besides, I mostly use Aira to get tasks done, visiting inaccessible websites, and such. And trying to talk on a mobile device while using Teamviewer is wicked awkward at times. If I could have the call on my PC through a headset that would be epic. I second this idea, too. Very much so.

Yes, it would be worth while. I’ll be checking out Walmart Pickup to find out if it’s an accessible service.

An app to complete shopping lists, where you can select items from the inventory would be cool.

Have you heard of Walmart pickup? Would an app that allows you to check prices of things through the Walmart pickup app, and make a shopping cart of everything you need be something worthwhile?
