JustSee Vision tells you what your photos show and turns them into memories. Built for blind and low vision users and fully compatible with VoiceOver, the app describes every picture, so you want to keep it, come back to it or share it. A photo that speaks A scene, an object, a moment: JustSee describes what a picture shows, so your photos are not just files but memories you can read again, on screen or out loud. Your library, finally clear You no longer have to guess what each thumbnail is. You read, you sort, you find your photos again instead of letting them pile up on your phone. Sharing that makes sense A described photo is easier to share, because the people around you understand straight away what it shows. Documents and mail too A handout from a teacher, a letter, a board full of text: JustSee helps you understand what it says and read it again later. Useful for students, and for everyday mail. Even faster On iPhone 16 and later, press Camera Control, the button on the right side, to take a photo and hear the description right away. How it works You choose. You can use Iko, our assistant that picks the most capable AI for each situation, with nothing to set up. You can also have the description done on your device, for more privacy if your iPhone is recent*, or connect the AI of your choice with your own API key (Google Gemini, OpenAI, Claude, Grok, Mistral, OpenRouter) in Settings. Faces stay apart Face recognition and identifying the people close to you happen only on your iPhone or iPad. Nothing is sent over the internet for this feature. Made by and for blind and low vision people JustSee is designed to be clear, accessible and pleasant to use every day. Download JustSee Vision: describe to keep, and keep to remember. * Note, on-device description Plan on an iPhone 15 Pro or later, a download of about 3 GB, and a result that is sometimes less rich or slower than Iko online. Details vary from one device to another.

About

WayFinder

Read full description

WayFinder is a voice-first visual assistant for blind and low-vision people. Press the microphone, ask a question aloud, and WayFinder takes one photo and speaks an AI-generated description. Ask about objects, text, colors, or the general scene in front of the camera. HOW IT WORKS • Sign in with Apple, with Google, or with an email address and password. Nothing else is asked of you. • Press the microphone to speak. That is the only way WayFinder listens — there is no wake word and no background listening. • You choose whether to send camera images for third-party AI processing. Until you agree, no image is sent. You can change the decision in Settings. • Each request uses one still photo. WayFinder does not record video. • Speech recognition runs on the iPhone. Raw microphone audio is not sent to WayFinder. • Answers and important status messages are spoken aloud. Controls have VoiceOver labels, large touch targets, and scalable text. SAFETY LIMITS AI can miss, misidentify, or misread things. If WayFinder cannot produce a sufficiently grounded answer, or if the camera, network, account, server, or AI provider fails, it tells you to stop instead of presenting the failure as a clear path. WayFinder is assistive information only. It is not a mobility aid or a medical device. It does not replace a white cane, guide dog, your own judgment, or orientation-and-mobility training. Never rely on it to decide whether to step or cross. USAGE LIMIT Each authenticated account receives exactly 25 lifetime successful vision analyses. Request 26 and later is refused before any AI request is made. There is no subscription, payment, purchase, upgrade, or quota reset. PRIVACY AND CONTROL The requested photo is sent over an encrypted connection to the WayFinder server and processed by a Google Gemini model on Google Cloud Vertex AI. WayFinder does not store the raw image. Questions, answers, and any answer report you submit are retained for up to 30 days for history and service operation. You can erase history or delete your account in the app. LANGUAGES The interface and spoken flow support English and Russian.
