Daisee is an assistive app for people living with low vision, macular degeneration, or other visual impairments. Using your iPhone's camera and advanced AI, it acts as a patient second pair of eyes — reading aloud, describing what's around you, locating objects, naming colours, and sensing light. FEATURES See for Me Point your camera at a letter, menu, medicine label, or sign, and DaiSee reads it aloud with a calm, clear voice. It can also describe scenes, rooms, photographs, and unfamiliar objects in natural language. Ask follow-up questions by voice and it answers. Locate Item Say what you want to find — "my keys", "the blue mug", "the remote control" and DaiSee guides you to it with spoken directions until it's in your hand. Identify Colour Hold your camera over any surface to hear its colour named clearly. Useful for matching clothing, checking ripe fruit, or understanding a photo. Light Sense Converts the brightness around you into a continuous audio tone — higher pitch for brighter light — so you can find a window, a lamp, or a bright patch by sound alone. DESIGNED FOR ACCESSIBILITY • Fully voice-controlled: say "stop", "repeat", "slower", "faster", or "go back" • Large, high-contrast layout for residual vision • Full VoiceOver support and Dynamic Type • Portrait-only — the screen never rotates unexpectedly • Patient speech recognition that waits while you gather your thoughts • Works with Bluetooth hearing aids and headphones PRIVACY DaiSee does not require an account. You never need to type or sign in. Camera images and voice audio are sent over a secure connection only while you are actively using a feature, and are not stored on our servers. SUPPORT If you have feedback, questions, or ideas, please email us — we read every message and use your input to make DaiSee better. ## Key features - Reads text aloud - Describes scenes and objects - Locates specific items - Identifies colors - Senses light levels - Voice-controlled operation - High-contrast layout ## Recent user reviews (10 of 14) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/daisee-low-vision-aid/id6763155776/reviews.md ### 5/5 — Tiny tag *2026-08-28* Just downloaded the app and tried it on one of those outrageously small printed tags that come on USB items. Mine was a light to read a book by. On the third try it read every single word in of print that is so small that it wouldn’t even have shown up on my mag ### 4/5 — Missing something on the menu *2026-08-15* I'm missing Walking With My Cane In The Menu, my Friends Told Me That There Is a Walking With Kane But I don't Have it, the voice tell me that she can't see the road, but the camera is Open and the help me see is working too, can you tell me why is happening this, I really down the app again but steer doesn't appear the walk with Kane appear **Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback. Cane Mode is only available on supported phones with LiDAR/depth sensing, so if your device doesn’t support that hardware, the option will not appear in the menu. When Daisee says it “can’t see the road,” that is a safety message. Daisee is designed to give extra audio information while walking, but it should always be used alongside your usual mobility aid, such as a white cane or guide dog, and never relied on by itself for navigation. If you let us know your iPhone model, we’ll be happy to confirm whether Cane Mode is supported on your device.🙂 support@hellodaisee.org ### 1/5 — A very nice and accessible app that I was looking for *2026-08-06* I really like the app. It’s very accessible thank you.

I’m really pleased to hear that you are finding Daisee easy to use and that features such as colour identification, weather information, Light Sense and reading text are helping in everyday life. Accessibility has been at the heart of Daisee from the beginning, so your comments genuinely mean a lot. I also wanted to keep the app free and remove as many barriers as possible for people who may benefit from it. Thank you again for your support and for taking the time to share your experience. Feedback like this really motivates me to keep improving Daisee and developing more useful features. ### 5/5 — It helps. *2026-05-18* I have just started using this app but has found it helpful in letting me read things like medicine bottles, etc..the simple things in life become hard with low vision and this has helped. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for this ❤️ “The simple things become hard”, that line honestly describes exactly why I created Daisee in the first place. I’m really glad it’s helping you already, even in small everyday moments like reading medicine bottles. Feedback like this genuinely keeps me going. And if you know anyone else with low vision who may benefit, please do share Daisee with them 😊 ### 5/5 — The app works *2026-05-16* Tired a few for my uncle and DaiSee really fits all he needs, easy, smooth, free! **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind words, we will continue to improve! ### 5/5 — Thank you! *2026-05-14* Thank you to the makers of this app! You are angels! My vision is kind of bad and while I can still see and read sometimes my eyes get tired. When they get tired I can misread things. This will help me avoid errors on important tasks. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind words, this genuinely means a lot to me. What you described about tired eyes and misreading things is actually one of the exact reasons I wanted to build Daisy. Sometimes it’s not about completely losing vision, but the stress and fatigue that can come from trying not to make mistakes during important everyday tasks. I’m really glad Daisy could help give a bit more confidence and reassurance in those moments. Thank you again for taking the time to leave a review and support the app ❤️ ## Frequently asked questions about Daisee ### What can DaiSee read aloud?
