ScribeMe is your all-in-one AI powered accessibility assistant for blind and visually impaired users, designed to make documents, images, and the world around you fully accessible. Whether you're exploring your surroundings, reading documents, or understanding photos, ScribeMe gives you the information you need with speed, accuracy, and independence. Live Assist is the world's first live AI assistant for blind and visually impaired users. It provides continuous updates about your surroundings as the scene changes, giving you the all information you need. Whether you're finding a seat in a busy café, locating a door, reading a menu, shopping independently, identifying products, or searching for misplaced items, Live Assist keeps you informed in real time. Live Assist now works with AI glasses from Meta, allowing you to use it completely hands-free through voice and camera-enabled interactions. Instead of holding your phone, you can receive continuous, real-time descriptions directly from your glasses, making everyday tasks more natural, seamless, and independent. Live Assist isn't limited to the camera around you. You can also share your phone's screen and receive real-time assistance while browsing inaccessible websites, scrolling through photos, using apps, reading social media, shopping online, or navigating content that isn't fully accessible—bringing the same intelligent assistance to both the physical and digital world. Smart Scan makes documents fully accessible in seconds. Instantly scan PowerPoint presentations and PDFs, and ScribeMe automatically preserves formatting by identifying headings, lists, and tables while generating detailed alt text for images. With advanced OCR in over 50 languages, it extracts text with high accuracy and lets you ask AI questions about your documents, from quick summaries to detailed insights. With Snap nScribe, you can capture photos using your camera or choose images from your gallery to receive rich AI-generated descriptions of product labels, surroundings, handwritten notes, and more. Upload multiple images at once for fast, detailed results, ask follow-up questions about any photo, or share documents and images directly from other apps to ScribeMe for instant AI-powered assistance.

About

Your life, managed by Cordo. Research, bookings, admin, follow-up. The things that keep slipping to next week. byCordo gives you a dedicated assistant who takes them off your plate and comes back when they are done. Not software and not a bot. A real person who compares the options, makes the booking, chases the reply and tells you what happened. Every new account includes 4 hours of work by a human assistant, free of charge, available for 30 days. The 30 days start when your assistant first logs completed work, so the clock does not run before anyone has worked for you. The trial ends when the 4 hours are used or the 30 days have passed, whichever comes first. The app is where you hand things over. Send a request, message your assistant, follow the work and see the time it took. No invitation and no approval step: create an account and submit your first real request.
