Blingo – Voice Assistance is designed to support people with visual impairments, older adults, and anyone who wants a more convenient AI assistant without relying on complex touch interactions. The app allows you to speak naturally with AI, use your phone’s camera to identify your surroundings, and quickly perform preset voice commands. How to Use Open the app by voice or by double-tapping the back of your phone. When the app launches, the assistant will say: “Hello, how can I help you?” After the assistant finishes speaking (about 1–2 seconds), you can make a request or ask a question. Conversations proceed in order between you and the assistant. For detailed setup and usage instructions, please check the in-app guide or visit: https://sites.google.com/view/hotrogiongnoiai/ Key Features 1. Preset Voice Commands Ask for the time: “What time is it”, "What time" Ask for the Gregorian date: “What day is it”, “What is the date today” Listen to the usage guide: “User guide”, "Guide" Increase/decrease speaking speed: “Increase reading speed”, “Decrease reading speed” Stop the assistant: “Stop”, “Stop app” 2. Describe Surroundings Using the Camera Activation commands: “Describe surroundings”, “Describe around me” The assistant opens the camera; point your phone toward the area you want to identify and hold still for about 2 seconds. The app can recognize people, dogs, cats, vehicles, tables, chairs, books, refrigerators, TVs, computers, and more. Results are for reference only. In environments with many objects, counts may not be accurate. 3. Ask Questions & Chat with AI You can ask anything about general knowledge, reasoning, writing, poetry, math, and more. The assistant responds with voice output. The current version does not support real-time information (e.g., weather, gold price, news). An internet connection is required. You can make 20 AI queries per day. Customization Change the voice style and speaking speed. Adjust the number of reminders when no response is detected. Enable/disable camera preview when describing surroundings. Privacy & Data Policy The app does not collect, store, or share personal data. Questions and conversations are processed temporarily to generate responses and are not stored afterward. The app connects to an intermediate server to forward requests to the OpenAI API. All data is processed instantly and not stored on the app or server. Open Source This application is developed under the AGPL-3.0 license. Source code is publicly available at: https://github.com/daothanhtungbca91/voice-assistant-ios.git

About

AVOID Lite

Features
Read full description

AVOID Lite reveals the network infrastructure used in nearby cellular networks and warns you when the carriers around you are operating on infrastructure that carries elevated risk. WHAT IT DOES • Identifies the RAN infrastructure for every cellular network near your device. • Flags networks whose underlying infrastructure presents risk. • Monitors in the background and notifies you when the network you are connected to uses risky RAN infrastructure. WHAT IT DOES NOT DO AVOID Lite detects and warns. It does not block, modify, intercept, or encrypt cellular traffic. It does not change which network your device attaches to. You decide what to do with the alerts. PERMISSIONS Location (While Using the App): Required. Used to look up information about the cellular networks reachable from your current location. Without it the app cannot give you a useful view of the local carrier landscape. Location (Always, optional): Lets the app keep checking the network you are connected to, and others nearby, even when the app is not open — so it can notify you about risky networks as they appear. You will be asked for this separately and can decline it without losing the in-app features. Notifications: Used to deliver risk alerts. Your location data is used only for these features. AVOID Lite does not sell or share your location. You can change or revoke any of these permissions at any time from Settings → Privacy & Security → Location Services. ABOUT AVOID Lite is built by Revelare Networks.
