IMPORTANT: That you really can use the app, you have to make an in-app purchase. Without the in-app purchase, you will have only some basic functionality to verify, that the app does really what you expect. A face-up spread of playing cards can be captured via the video-stream from the back camera of the iPhone. The order of the playing cards will be detected and can be displayed. All missing cards can be displayed too. All regular Poker-Playing cards (Bicycle, Phoenix) are detected. Also the new Phoenix Large Index Deck is supported. Important: Jokers are NOT detected! The detection and analysis works very fast (faster than 1 second). The app has a variety of different settings. To unlock the whole functionality, you can purchase the monthly subscription "Full Access". With this subscription you unlock (for the time periode of the subscription) all features of Vision. In addition to that, it also unlocks (for the same time periode) all in-app purchases of the companion app Vision:Tricks. If you do purchase the subscription, please note: • The subscription of "Full Access" is running one month. • Payment will be charged to iTunes Account at confirmation of purchase • Subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24-hours before the end of the current period • Account will be charged for renewal within 24-hours prior to the end of the current period, and identify the cost of the renewal • Subscriptions may be managed by the user and auto-renewal may be turned off by going to the user's Account Settings after purchase • Any unused portion of a free trial period, if offered, will be forfeited when the user purchases a subscription to that publication, where applicable.

About

SeeCards

Features
Read full description

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.
