NarraCam

A camera that describes the scene before you capture it. Most image descriptions explain a photo that already exists. NarraCam starts a step earlier: have the live scene described and read aloud, automatically when changes are detected or at the touch of a button. Make each capture a conscious choice. From the first word to the shot. You frame the scene. Focus, zoom, lens switching, and an optional grid help you compose your shot. Use the timer for photos. NarraCam describes. Get a summary of the scene, detected objects, and optionally visible text. You can listen to the latest description again at any time. You decide. Take a photo or video, save the description, and revisit the moment later. With Better Moments enabled, you can also choose an image from just before you pressed the shutter. Two ways. Right on your device. Simple description uses local signals such as brightness, motion, people, and detected text. No internet, account, or additional model download needed. On compatible iPhones and iPads, On-Device AI describes images using a model on your device. After a one-time download, it works without an internet connection. Choose a profile that suits your device: Fast, Balanced, or, on eligible devices, Detailed. Manage downloads and storage yourself. A library that grows with you. Search, filter, import, and share photos and videos. Have saved photos described and read aloud. Edit descriptions, dates, and locations, and restore deleted captures from Trash. On iPad, the library gives your captures, weekly overview, and history more room. Calm, clear, accessible. NarraCam is designed for use with VoiceOver, larger text, spoken feedback, and haptics. Set your preferred voice, speaking rate, and automatic announcements. The interface and scene descriptions are available in German, English, French, and Spanish. Get to your camera faster. Open Camera, Captures, or Settings with Siri and Shortcuts. Add a photo widget or launch the camera from Control Center or the Lock Screen after unlocking your device. Your images. Your choice. NarraCam describes your images on your device. No account is needed, and no image is uploaded for description. You choose separately whether to also store your captures in your private iCloud storage. Requirements iOS or iPadOS 18 or later. On-Device AI requires an iPhone with an A16 chip or later, or a supported iPad, a model download, and enough free storage. Available models and processing speed depend on your device. Simple description is available on other supported devices. Find the full device list at narracam.com. Image descriptions may be incomplete or incorrect. NarraCam does not replace a mobility aid and is not intended for navigation or hazard warnings.
