Read full descriptionHide full description
Elucidator uses on-device AI to describe your camera view in real time, in natural text and speech—even offline. See scene descriptions, key objects, positions and readable text over the camera view, or hear them aloud. Use supported webcams or RTSP cameras and switch AI profiles for different tasks. Choose Apple Foundation Models, downloaded local AI models or external AI services for image analysis. ---------- ■ Analyze What Your Camera Sees Analyze at regular intervals, manually or with Motion detection. Results overlay the camera view and update with each analysis. Stream text as it is generated, and preview text size and display settings. Haptics signal new results. External displays offer “Text only” or “Image & text”. Analysis uses live camera images, not saved video. ---------- ■ Hear Descriptions Aloud Turn speech on or off and adjust the voice and rate. Highlight spoken text to follow along. ---------- ■ Set Up AI Profiles Choose from eight built-in AI profiles to focus on different aspects of the same scene. Save and edit prompts, triggers, intervals and image counts in reusable AI profiles. Compare up to three images for changes. ---------- ■ Choose Your Camera and Analysis Area Analyze the full view or adjust the visible area with features unlocked. Select “Circle to analyze” in an AI profile and outline an area with your finger. Switch front/rear cameras, use macro on supported devices, mirror the front camera, pinch to zoom, tap to focus or lock focus and exposure. Unlock features to use UVC USB webcams on compatible iPads or RTSP IP cameras. Save and select connections. ---------- ■ Review Recent Results View the last 50 results with images, times and prompts. History clears when the app closes. No photos or videos are captured or saved. ---------- ■ Connect with Other Apps and Tools The GET API provides images plus results, app status and device status as JSON on the same network. The Control API starts/stops analysis and changes prompts from the same network. APIs require the app in the foreground. curl notifications send results after analysis to an HTTP/HTTPS address. Configure curl requests to send text, images, prompts, completion time or device status. You can also analyze images with external AI via OpenAI-compatible APIs. Potential connections include the OpenAI API (models behind ChatGPT), Gemini and Claude. Save multiple connections and models to switch between them and on-device AI. Note: External AI integration has been tested with vLLM; compatibility varies by service and model. Unlock external integrations to use these features. External integrations are off by default. Only when enabled is selected data sent outside your device. ---------- ■ On-Device AI Image Analysis A VLM (vision-language model) understands images and generates descriptions. Apple Intelligence’s AFM 3 Core or AFM 3 Core Advanced is used through the Foundation Models framework, depending on your device and OS. You can also add and download local AI models such as Gemma 4, Qwen3.5 and Qwen3-VL. With on-device AI selected, analysis works offline without sending images or descriptions to external AI servers. Downloading local AI models, external AI, curl notifications, ads, purchase checks and support pages use the network. ---------- ■ Useful For Describe scenes, find objects, read text, review outfits or rooms, observe plants and hear visual information. Analyze webcam/RTSP images, connect your tools and explore generative AI, VLMs and Foundation Models. ---------- AI results may be inaccurate. For medical, safety or navigation decisions, verify the actual situation rather than relying on AI alone. Requires iOS 18 or later. Apple Foundation Models analysis requires a compatible OS and device with access to those models. Models and features vary by device and OS.
