Seeing AI

Seeing AI is a free app from Microsoft that narrates the world around you. It can speak text, read descriptive text, product information, identify persons, currency, color and scene. It can even read handwritten text.

Seeing AI is a Microsoft research project that brings together the power of the cloud and AI to deliver an intelligent app, designed to help you navigate your day.

Some of its features include:

• Turns the visual world into an audible experience – With this intelligent camera app, just hold up your phone and hear information about the world around you.

• Recognize friends and their facial expressions – Recognize and locate the faces of people you’re with, as well as facial characteristics, approximate age, emotion, and more.

• Read text quickly – Hear short snippets of text instantly and get audio guidance to capture full documents.
