I built an iOS app that reads the laundry symbols in care labels (and it works with VoiceOver!) Download it for free! Link in the comments. (v.redd.it)

Wow! I’m sighted and am gonna use this because I never know what all the symbols mean! Thank you!!

alanpegoli [OP] 3 points 2y ago

You're welcome! 🙂

Laundry Lens is available for free in 6 languages on App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id1513767864?pt=121357710&ct=Accessibility&mt=8.

This is fantastic! Thank you! If you have the time and feel inclined, could you add oven symbols? I’m pretty sure I’m using the wrong ones all the time.

alanpegoli [OP] 1 points 2y ago

Oh, nice idea! Maybe this could a future app! Thank you! 🙂

Lukayylmao 1 points 2y ago

Yes

bradley22 3 points 2y ago

I tried the app and it couldn’t read any of my tags.

I’m in the UK, maybe they’re different?

Also, the instructions don’t read with voiceover for me.

alanpegoli [OP] 1 points 2y ago

Well, that's odd. Could you send me a picture of the tags you tried?

bradley22 2 points 2y ago

Sure, send me a pm wiht your email address and I'll try my best to send the pics, keep in mind i'm blind so they might not be the best in the world.

alanpegoli [OP] 1 points 2y ago

Ok.

honestduane 3 points 2y ago

Any thoughts on making it open source? Maybe a dedicated github?

alanpegoli [OP] 1 points 2y ago

Well, not actually. I have some other plans for the app in the future. But thanks for your interest. 🙂

honestduane 3 points 2y ago

So this is spam? Is this going to ever not be free?

Winnmark 3 points 2y ago

So how can we work together to get this on the Android app store?

alanpegoli [OP] 2 points 2y ago

Well, I don't have plans to bring Laundry Lens to Google Play Store just yet. It uses some iOS exclusive technologies. But thank you so much for your interest. ❤️

minttulisa 2 points 2y ago

Id be happy to help too!

Winnmark 2 points 2y ago

Well, and I want to be as respectful as possible, but The Android ecosystem is huge, if this doesn't exist already, it's only a matter of time before it does.
