**** This app requires Special Playing Cards that can be purchased at https://www.qrspeak.com If you have recently lost your eyesight, have been blind since birth, or have limited vision, enjoying playing cards can be hard to do. There is the option of braille cards but they are bulky to shuffle and if recently vison impaired you need to learn how to read the braille on the cards. We have created a new way of playing cards for the blind or vison impaired called Cards that Talk. You simply place the card under the camera on the apple device and it will read the card to you. You can wear an earpiece so only you know what cards you hold. Cards that Talk also features a continuous scanner so that once the app is started there is no need to touch the device again until you are done enjoying playing cards. There are buttons that you can either slow down the speed of the voice or speed it up depending on your preference. All that is left for you to do is enjoy playing cards again. Features - Continuous scanning; no tapping the screen after each card - variable speed control for voice - large start scanning button so no fumbling trying to find it Cards that Talk is free but will require our playing cards that can be purchased. Contact us at https://www.qrspeak.com and click the link to buy cards or we can answer any questions that you may have. The cards are professionally printed and will hold up like any other deck of cards. Since there is no braille on them they are smooth. This makes them easier to shuffle and to play with.

See Cards lets you join card games without seeing the cards yourself. Simply place one or more cards in front of your phone’s camera, tap the screen, and the app will read the cards out loud. This makes it possible to participate in card games using audio feedback instead of sight. The app includes a built-in how-to guide, a camera screen where you tap the on-screen button to scan and read cards, and a settings page that can be accessed from the camera screen. See Cards supports VoiceOver, offers adjustable speech speeds, and is available in both English and Norwegian. See Cards uses machine learning to detect and recognize playing cards through your camera. The app is trained on a specific card design, so recognition accuracy may vary depending on the type of deck used and the distance between the camera and the cards. For best results, use a deck with clear, standard numbers and test the app before starting a game. Make sure your phone is not in silent mode, as audio output is required for the app to speak the cards. To make harder for your opponents it is recommended to use the app with headphones.
