Incredible impact

I am totally blind. Seeing AI has had such an impact on my life.
Know when a letter arrives, I can just reach from my phone and I can read through my glasses without having to wait for a relative to come.
Also describing photograph is amazing.
I can share the experience through photographs sent by my friends.
An incredible impact on my life, thank you

This late night I’ve been using this AI to read for me, but when I’m reading with it, I can notice it’s saying wrong words and going off track.

Great app but…

I work for an Assistive Technology Program. We recommend this app to many with vision deficiencies and it’s great. However, the app continues to change with updates. I was initially told this is supposed to be for those who are visually impaired but for those that cannot see, the changes make this difficult to use. When I first learned of the app, it was very simple to use but has had so many changes since that I can no longer say that.
This needs to stay simple & refrain from changing so much. I don’t see how anyone with visual impairments can use it.
The scan/read feature used to allow jumping around but it no longer works that way. The layout of the options have changed so much that it’s difficult to use for those that are unable to see what they are doing.

It’s great, but I have suggestions

Hey y’all this is what’s up so I think because I think we all know how Google has a thing where you could just take a picture of the answers like you could take a picture of your homework and get the answers. I think you should put that on there like it should be called homework helper because do you know how many blind kids like me blind 14-year-olds like me who tried to use Google lens and take a picture of the homework and get quotes sorry something wrong. Do you know how many a lot so therefore please do that please please do that.
But that’s that suggestion thank you for this app and keep making more apps. Oh and fix Outlook.

I love this app

Chrisk.clk.eth loves you

Terrible

Don’t have a read feature if its not going to read the correct thing! Why is there no option to read the words that are in a specific area! Why does it only read irrelevant stuff and not the information required???? Useless! If you’re actually blind it’s utterly terrible!

The most exciting app

I didn’t think one app has four blinds and tell me for reading paper or currency and more

Error try again

The program doesn’t work at all.

Life changing app for people with blindness or low vision

This app is incredible for people who are blind or have difficulty reading text.
I have had it for several years and it is a life changer, really important for maintaining independence with vision loss

Used to work great now it doesn’t work at all

When I first started using this app to read print books because I couldn’t get the information online it would read 25 pages at a time reliably Now I’m lucky if I can get three pages out of it before it stops, scanning my book it’s impossible for me to read with this app anymore because I can’t comprehend a book if I can only read three pages every five minutes whatever improvements you think you’ve made with this app please reverse them. I need to use this and I can’t and it’s ridiculous.

Why is it necessary to push options?

If I am blind it is not useful

This app isn’t reliable

Whenever I take a picture in the describe tab, it almost never works. It always says try again later. Or it cuts out of the app entirely. This app never works. Try something else.

App not working

App has stopped working for me. Won’t move past the processing stage.. In a few days now. No updates available.

I don’t eat it a lot, but it doesn’t recognize text. That’s my problem. I don’t use it a lot it just

I think it’s really bad even though the reason I wanted to give it three stars is because when I tried to put it over or something, it doesn’t even recognize anything

A very powerful tool, but...

Overall this is the most useful app on my phone. However, I'm getting sick of the occasional reset of settings between launches. EG. I'll have my channels ordered and everything set the way I want and scan some mail, money etc.
A few days later I need to scan one simple thing and I'm forced to bypass/skip the little introduction to Seeing AI thing. When i'm in a hurry and having to faff about with things I already did, I consider uninstalling this app and just looking elsewhere. I understand this is free, and how we should all be grateful. But this is a longstanding issue and I'm tired of the reset btn being pressed in Seeing AI configuration so I have to set everything up again. Oh, and that includes the annoying tutorial popups for each mode. As if I haven't used this app for 7 years regularly now. Please please address this and soon. There's probably more people out there experiencing this random reset behavior and too nice to be critical of a free app.
Other than that, one of the best recognition apps and I've tried them all.

Life-changing App

This app completely changed my life the day I discovered it over two years ago, and I've used it almost every day since. It's a must-have for blind independant living.

Almost perfect.

I have adhd and so this helps immensely with reading school material. The voices could be better.

Love this app, but hate recent updates

This app was great until recently. I used this app to scan money, scan products, and read text, but the recent updates have made it very terrible for me. You can no longer do money scanning on the app, and they took away the really short text feature, so now you have to take a picture of the document which is not easy for some people, even with the camera help. Seeing AI team, If you see this, please bring back the old features of the app.

Instant text reading upon opening the app

"Please reinstate the instant text reading feature that Seeing AI previously offered upon opening the app. Additionally, consider adding an option to capture photos using the volume up and down buttons on iPhones and Android devices, as this would greatly improve ease of use."

Good

My VI student enjoy this app but finds it difficult to move to the proper location. Training is required on where and how to orient the phone.
