Textbook diagrams, described aloud and ready to explore. PicExplainer is designed for blind and low-vision students. Photograph a textbook diagram, chart, graph, map, or figure and hear an AI-generated spoken explanation. Then ask questions in plain language: - "Which chamber does blood enter first?" - "What does the arrow on the left point to?" - "Read me the values on this chart." BUILT VOICEOVER-FIRST Use eyes-free camera guidance, accessible controls, and your own VoiceOver voice when VoiceOver is on. 141 FREE, OFFLINE DIAGRAMS Explore 141 bundled curriculum diagrams across Biology, Human body, Chemistry, Physics, Earth & space, Maths, Geography, and Everyday topics. They are free and work offline. EXPLORE BY TOUCH Drag a finger across a diagram to hear each part announced with haptic boundaries. Hear supported charts as audio graphs, follow a guided part-by-part walk, test yourself by ear and touch, or export a tactile and braille-ready sheet. HONEST BY DESIGN PicExplainer reports confidence and is instructed to flag labels or details it cannot read clearly. AI can still make mistakes, so check important details with a teacher or textbook. YOUR DIAGRAM LIBRARY Successful analyses you save live in the app on your device and remain readable without a subscription while they remain on that device. Submitted figures, OCR text, questions, and recent conversation context are processed off-device to create analyses and answers. PRIVACY IN THE CLASSROOM PicExplainer does not ask for a name, email address, or student record. Purchase history, submitted content, a pseudonymous device identifier, and product-interaction counters are linked for App Functionality such as entitlements, free scans, and fair-use limits. PicExplainer does not use them for cross-app tracking. PRICING Try up to two successful live scans per pseudonymous device identity; an unclear analysis does not consume the allowance. All 141 bundled diagrams remain free and offline. PicExplainer Pro enables live scanning and questions subject to fair-use and service-capacity limits. Apple shows the exact local price, renewal terms, and any introductory offer you are eligible for before confirmation. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled.
