Hello, blind people from different countries, how do you read print? Such as reading books and identifying product names and production dates. I am completely blind, I can not recognize when using mobile phone software recognition.

Try Seeing AI and VoiceDream Scanner. Two of my favourite apps, one of which is free.

Thank you. I downloaded the free version. I think it's too expensive

The app “Be My Eyes” is free across the world. I do that for reading under 10 minutes.
For books, if you are in the US I can recommend other programs to access libraries and audio books for free. There are even some volunteer programs to record books you can’t find.

Thank you. I am not in the United States. It is very difficult for me to read print with mobile phone software.

Are you using a mobile APP or some hardware product?
AmAsabat 1 points 3y ago
Hardware and software. Use an iPad some times but Mac most of time.

Thank you. I will download and use it I still encounter the situation that the camera of my mobile phone is not accurate, or I cannot obtain the information comprehensively, so I can only try little by little.
