    Seeing AI is an artificial intelligence application developed by Microsoft for iOS.[2][3] Seeing AI uses the device camera to identify people and objects, and then the app audibly describes those objects for visually impaired people.[4]

    Capabilities

    [edit | edit source]

    Seeing AI is primarily used to describe short text, documents, products, people, currency scenery, colors, handwriting and light.[5] The app can scan a barcode to describe a product[6] and uses sounds to assist the user in focusing on the barcode.[7] When the app describes people, it attempts to estimate the person's age, gender, and emotional status.[8] Additionally, in a test run by German journalists in December 2019, Seeing AI apparently used some sort of Facial recognition system to identify people on photographs by name.[9]

    Some functions are performed on the device, however more complex functions such as describing a scene or recognizing handwriting require an Internet connection.[10]

    In December 2017, Seeing AI introduced the ability for currency recognition for US and Canadian dollar, British pounds and Euros.[11]

    In December 2019, Seeing AI added support for five more languages, Dutch, French, German, Japanese, Spanish.[12]

    Seeing AI is available in 70 countries such as Brazil, Argentina, Australia, Canada, Egypt, Albania, Bhutan, etc.[13]

    Supported on iPhone 5C, 5S and later best performance with iPhone 6S, SE and later models
