At our boutique NGO (Asociația unPi pentru Școlari, www.unpi.ro/english) we stive to build assistive solutions for all humans. With this app we enable you to see the world through AI — entirely on your device. No cloud, no internet needed. It's an ideal way for the people with visual impairments or completely blind to experience the world in words. You snap a picture with the app, and the in-device, modern Artificial Intelligence interprets it into your language. Just remember, it's just AI, an interpretation. It might not be able to capture all reality in its words ;-) We support today: Arabic, Chinese, Dutch, English, French, German, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian and Vietnamese, with more to come in the upcoming releases. On iOS 26+ with Apple Intelligence this app is fully offline. But on iOS 18 thru 25 (or iOS 26 without Apple Intelligence), we will download one time (over the network) an AI model which is about 1 GB in size and is required for the functionality. While our efforts are ongoing, we rely and ask your support plus feedback in building additional features.
