## What is Vision?

Vision uses Artificial Intelligence in real time to identify objects, money, colors, approximate distances, read text and more; all through your phone's camera. It's optimized for working with VoiceOver in 35 languages. First, please verify that your phone is not muted. Then, when you choose one feature, move the camera slowly in some directions to scan your surroundings. Vision has 7 features:

- Objects: Phone will detect one or more simultaneous objects and their position (at the same time), and say you about it.

- Read: The app will read text in real-time from camera image, you can also take a photo, or chose one from the camera roll. Any text will be read for you.

- Money: The app will identify United States Dollar, Euro, Japanese Yen, South Korean Won, Turkish Lira, United Kingdom Pound Sterling, New Taiwan Dollar, Chinese Yuan, Brazilian Real, Swiss Franc, Russian Ruble, Mexican Peso, Chilean Peso, Malaysian Ringgit, Hong Kong Dollar, Thai Baht, Canadian Dollar, Singapore Dollar, Indonesian Rupiah, Australian Dollar, Indian Rupee, Argentine Peso, Colombian Peso, Qatari Riyal.

- Explore: Find places of your interest in the search bar and phone will help you for navigate to them. This feature requires Internet. To verify navigation availability in your country please visit:

- Colors: Phone will identify color by taking a photo, or from your camera roll images.

- Distance: Phone will vibrate according to distance measurement, stronger vibration means shorter distance. Activate VoiceOver if you want to hear the distance in meters.

- Places: the application will detect places and scenes such as crosswalk zones, fire escapes, parking lots and more.

For the best experience, we suggest to use an iPhone 8 or newer.
