6 years! Wow! I love it! Even more stuff now in Seeing AI! So cool! Let’s go Accessibility for ALL! 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you! We were playing with this yesterday. It’s pretty difficult for users who are completely blind. We tried to read products with the short text like spices, cans, etc, things my daughter needs at work at the bakery. Maybe it was just the iPhone. We’ll have to try some other techniques, maybe the product. I’ve put this video in our “likes” playlist.
In my opinion I think it is hard as well because you have to see where you are pointing your phone I would recommend getting there in vision glasses where it is hands-free and it is awesome I know you said this two years ago
I just ran across your channel. Love it. I was born legally blind. Scars from toxoplasmosis. My corrected vision is so where between 20/125 20/150.
+Animal Facts awesome, it’s great to meet you!
Hi Sam, I have just put this App on my new iphone and was pleased the short text channel worked on my first attempt! Your videos are great-you present the info clearly and I like the length of the videos. I can watch one and then follow through with some of the ideas you talked about. Many thanks, Sue
This is life changing for me! Thank you for all you do Sam!
My pleasure!
So great to see this. I was just asking Aleric if he thought you would be positing something about seeing AI. If he holds a seminar on it, we hope to come up to Lexington and hopefully we can meet you then!
+Samantha I'll actually be giving a demo clasp on Sewing AI on the 31st of August. The class will be from 1 to 2 p.m. at the Bluegrass Council of the blind. Everyone is welcome to attend!
I have it on my iPhone and love it. I used it in the grocery store to find my items i needed from cereal to oatmeal and boxes of granola bars.
Sam - yer awesome dude. Mac here with Macular Degen and blind spots so I am learning all kinds of new tricks in a moderate race against time - I really like your short, sweet and to the pount videos! Great job. I use the Kindle a lot and PC - experimenting with different "voices" - trying th get British gal's voice to read Kindle books.
well what i want to know is that ipad you are holding where did you get it. never saw such a big ipad.
It’s just the iPad Pro 12.9 inch.
Great video Sam! You continue to bring us great content. I am so grateful for this one, this product is awesome. Thank you again for your effort, much appreciated.
It’s my pleasure, glad you are enjoying the videos!
Thank you fir sharing this. I installed it on my iPhone and will try in during my walks tomorrow.
Downloaded the app 2 days ago, and I love it! Yes, it will kill KNFB Reader (glad I never bought it) and Digit Eyes, too. Thanks for the video. Your tutorial about swiping was helpful. As always, Sam, you rock!
Thanks!
Thank you so much for showing us this! It's awesome!
Hi Sam,
Thanks a lot for the information.
You are a great help.
Have a nice day bro.
Thanks!
I love this app so much! I just have to chuckle! I have the KNFB reader. If it could talk it would say “Hey what about me?”
If I need to read a document, I still use K in FB reader instead of Seeing AI. Love that app
Got the app, i'm impressed ! thank you good sir!
This is great! I'm looking forward to this hitting the android platform as well. It Would-be great to have this same type of technology and a pair of glasses you could wear
Yeah, hopefully they release it on android very soon! I want to have it on my phone so I can have it with me wherever I go
The Orcam is like that on glasses. It clips on yr glasses & tells you what u r looking at!
Doing Business Blind

Doing Business Blind We are on the same wave. I thought same, and made similar post.
By the way, bout Vuzix smart glass and going to collect data of appliance repair. I’m owner and tech of all home big appliance repair.
Greetings Sam, just found your channel and subscribed. I was very keen to get this app, however, it is not currently available in Australia, and also it only works with IOS 10, which is bad news for me as two of my IOS devices will not upgrade past version 9. Your channel is great.
That's what I've heard, sorry about that. Hopefully they release it soon in other countries. Thanks for the kind words!
I have the app on my phone. I’ll download it to my phone a couple of years ago right when it first came out. On my iPhone 7. I haven’t download it to my iPad or my Apple MacBook. But it is on my iPhone. There are other apps. You can probably look at and discuss. Called Be My Eyes and TapTapSee. Maybe in another video you can demonstrate those for people who do not have them I can show how they also work. Because I also have these apps. And I love them as a totally blind person I love him so much.
Thank you for showing this app! I love it and now everyone at Volunteer Blind Industries uses it! if theres any other apps that you know that will be good please share it!
Of course!
Great video, I’m going to go get my copy.
Great app. Just downloaded it on my Iphone and used it in my office.
Haven't used all of the features yet but will later on. Great video.
Great info, thank you Sam !
Do this app require a special version of iOS? I have an iPhone 6 Plus awesome video keep them coming!!
You should be okay. I think it needs IOS 10 or above.
Thanks for the info. As a vet with low vision your have been very helpful, thanks
My pleasure, truly!
Thank you for the great info! You inspired me to open Seeing AI and now the app and Siri are my newest best friends. In SETTINGS you can even set your own Siri shortcuts. For example, when I ask Siri, “what is this?”, she will automatically read a product label. Five stars plus PLUS!!!
thank you so much for doing this video. I cannot wait to check out this app going to get it tonight. I like the idea of being able to read things out of a magazine or with school coming up, reading the paperwork that is going to be coming home with the kids. This is great I'm very excited.
Awesome, I hope you enjoy it!
The Blind Spot this app is nice things for demoing it Microsoft is been working really hard to get this under last update was 2.2 but the thing wrong with my iPad is that I does I have the facial love I'm sorry there's two problems the first problem is that the there is no product channel and sometimes the face recognition doesn't work so I had to delete the app and download it again last timer to do that as well so
Thanks so much for this Sam. I'm going to use this app with my pupil and get back to you. When there is lack of money from the authority for purchase of decent equipment, this app is ideal. Great demo, cheers.
+April Skies awesome! You're very welcome
You did an Amazing demo! So helpful.
Hi friends Great video you are really doing a noble job when the same app will be coming on Android
I’ve spoken with many people on the development team and they all say that it probably will never come to android. I’m very disappointed and hope that isn’t true!
Hey Sam let me tell you that that is a really good app and your video is really good I think seeing AI app is going to be so helpful for when I go shopping thank you for the for the video I downloaded it on my iPhone which is currently running iOS 15.1 but anyways I love what you do and I'm subscribed to your channel thank you so much for the video
Great!
I find the person recognition channel very inaccurate! Also, when I pointed it at some trees on the scene channel, it said those trees were a group of giraffes (in the woods of Nova Scotia)!
This app is truly awesome. I haven't tried the barcode feature out, but I am anxious to do so. Do you think that this could put KNFB Reader out of business? For example, can you use this application in airplane mode?
I don't think it will put them out of business just yet! If you haven't seen it already, I just released a video comparing the two apps together and, in my opinion, K and F be reader one out for document viewing
Please let us know about the updates of this app and also information about android.
I love this application. I love the fact that it uses voiceover when taking a picture of a document, rather than using a different framework. but be warned, if you use the Barcode scanner a lot, it will kill your battery.
+Micah Grauel thanks for the tip!
Love the app. I've been using it since Monday.
Louise Arellano what did you download the app onto? iPhone, iPad? Something else?
Wow it's an awesome application when Microsoft will launch this app for Android user???
I love your presentation style.
I want to talk to you. Is this possible?
This is Manoj from India.
The best way to get a hold of me is through email. The Blind life sam@gmail.com
Thank you for you answer! I just wonder if it matters that I am in Norway. It says that the item is not available in my App Store but in the American store when I try to download it. Thanks😀
This sounds fabulous. Since it is 2 years old, has it been updated? My mother has severe macular degeneration. She can not read her mail and documents. She will soon be 81. Has hard time knowing what she is buying at the grocery stores.
What iPad would you recommend fir her to get to out this app on.
She/we need all the help we can get to help keep her independent.
Also she is struggling with telephone. Do you recommend a certain phone for the blind or very low vision patients. We need one the phone or iPad to read email
They have updated a few things on the app since this video. It’s still free and even more helpful than it was before. It works on any iOS device, iPhones or iPads. I really love my giant 12 inch iPad Pro because the big screen makes things easier to see. However, it’s not portable at all. If you’re looking for something portable I would look into something with a smaller size. As far as an easy to use phone for senior citizens would love vision, check out the BlindShell accessible mobile phone. You can Google it or look for videos on TH-cam. I’ve made a couple myself.
The Blind Life will this work with the blind shell mobile phone?
Thanks for showing me this app exists. make reading buiness cards a lot easier
Thanks a lot. Is there any similar apps for Android
Not one app that does all of these things together. There are several apps that kind of do the different features individually. Hopefully seeing a I will be released for android soon, fingers crossed!
Thanks Sam!
This app is great! I hope they have an android version soon, that way my partner can use it on his phone. 🙂🙂😎
Yes, can't wait for the android version!
It cool app. Very fast.
Could be great, have that app in Vuzix smart glass! That could collect data, and using machine learning, can predict something, or customize something.
Or bunch of other ideas!
Thank you for showing how it works!
I cannot wait until this comes over to Android! This could put knfb out of business. Just
I can't wait either!
I second that!
Same here all my devices are either running Android or Windows. I am tired of stuff coming out for iphone only.
Hello Sam, I enjoy your videos but I find the background music a distraction. Just saying.
I am excited about this app looking forward to learning how to work it
Great video, thank you sir and thank you microsoft
Can anybody tell me what kind of iPad sam is using? It looks so massive and Apple says the largest size they have is 12.9 inches, but that looks so much larger
wow I just discovered you I live with a blind man retired dairy farmer who milked our cows by himself for 30years could I.D. the cows by their udders and behavior. his brother is having health issues so I am looking for some helpful tech for him as he is blind too. they both have R.P. and at age 65 don't see much at all .really appreciate your videos!
Thank you! Blind dairy farmer, that’s utterly amazing! Sorry, bad joke
Hi. How can I install it on iPad Thanks for the nice video
Just search for seeing AI on the app store. If it doesn't show up, change the setting in the top left from iPad only to iPhone only. Then it will be in the list and you can download it and install.
This video is wonderful!
I have a best friend that is blind. I am going to download this app on her ipad. She just purchased her ipad a few weeks ago, so very knew to all of this. I am trying hard to help her. She is so excited with hopes of gaining some independence.
I have a question if anyone has an answer, please.
Is there an app to help the blind scroll to find various utube videos?
My friend is subscribed to a couple channels that help her do bible study. With some lessons and sermons. Siri will take her to the utube channel specifically requested. But that is far as she goes. Once she is there my friend cannot see to select and play the videos. Any help would be so greatly appreciated.
New subscriber!!
God Bless You!
Hi Tanya, that’s so great that you are helping your friend! I don’t know of a specific app that will do what you were asking but it’s very possible that there is one out there. Really the best thing your friend could do is, if she doesn’t know how to yet, learn voiceover on her iPad. If she is familiar with it, practice, practice, practice! Using voice over, it’s very easy for her to go to those TH-cam channels and, either find the search button on the channel to find a specific video, or simply look through the list of videos to find one she wants to watch. If she needs more help with voiceover, myself and my friend Derek Daniel have a series called voice over 101. You can find some of the videos on my channel and some on his.
hello Sam...I am looking for a wrist watch that will guide me to a predefined spot via vibrattion......my problem is that while I can see just a few feet in front of me I am unable to identify things in the distance....when I go to the beach I can not see where my things are and I can not see where to go back through the sand dunes....once on the path I am fine but the beach looks all the same to me...any ideas would be appreciated...
The only thing that I know of that would do all the things you’re asking would probably be an Apple Watch. You could use different apps for navigation. I don’t have a lot of experience with the Apple Watch but it might be something you should look into.
We use android phones and tablets at our house, when will this be available for android this would be perfect for my grand daughter.
Yes, I’m waiting for it to! The response I get is that they have a small team so it might take a while. I’ve heard others talk about how seeing AI was just an experiment for Microsoft and that it probably will never come to android. I truly hope that’s not the case because I’m dying to put it on my Samsung phone!
Please make a video on smart glasses if they are usefull for stargardt patients
Hey man we talked before on Facebook was wondering do you have any apps apps are no of any that will help visually impaired and blonde people
Blind person
I tried downloading it on my IPhone 8 and it told me this app is not available in this country or region. I’m from The Bahamas.
Will you use an orbit Reader or A brell note
Dear Mr. Sam
Really you are doing well please advice me as I need to purchase an iPad and I need to know what are available apps to support LVP thanks for your help
There are actually a lot of apps available for us. I’ve made several videos about this so if you search for accessible apps or apps for the blind or the vision apps, you should find them
The Blind Life thanks for your help
I downloaded this app but the barcode reader is worthless? It doesn't even scan the barcode or even recognize it at all? it just sits there and does nothing? This app will tell me that there is a car when I scan my C-PAP machine into it when it clearly is not a car. It would be nice if this app had a feature where if there is more than one item in a room you can slide your finger or just point and hold your finger on a very specific point on the screen and it will only tell you what is pinpointed in that area and ignore everything else around it? If this app had a training feature where you could train the app to learn what a product is and this would not only help UI but it can be sent to a universal databank where if something like the C-PAP recognizes to on someone else's app? It seems like a cool app but these are some things that make me not really use the app? If there was a feature on this app that would allow you to point your camera to a curb it would be nice if it would detect a curb or a drop-off and as you scan it would let you know where the curb cut is located? The other feature is the stair feature but when I pointed the camera at a single site or a set of steps it couldn't recognize them in plain sight? I am legally blind and have some sight but I use a power chair and using a cane is not possible for me this is why I mentioned about the curb and curb cuts? Along with this, it would be nice if this app would tell me the color of the light and walk signals and how they are displayed?
I love you big berded man. THANKS!
Thank you!
This is a really awesome app, it has been really helpful.
Are there any apps on seeing AI channel to use for telling colors for people that do crafts?😎
Yes, seeing AI does have a color identification feature.
Is this only for iPhones and iPads or can I find it for Samsung phones? I couldn’t find it on the apps for Samsung
No, it’s only available on iOS products. Android has two apps that have similar features, envision AI and supersense.
I write letters and other documents I was wondering if there is a better app to use. I use pages on the I pad pro. I have stargarts. I use voice over. Plus zoom focused. O am looking for something with better editing features
Unfortunately, I don’t write documents on my iPhone or iPad. So I wouldn’t be much help with this. You might want to go onto one of the iPhone and iPad accessibility Facebook groups to ask what others are using
Thank you, great app, extremely helpful.
You can order it through apple.com
Unable to get the app on my iPad which would be better for me.
Unless you just have an old iPad, you should be able to put it on there. When you search for it on the App Store, you’ll need to change the search filter to iPhone only. You can do that in the upper left-hand corner of the search window. The reason you have to do this is that the app isn’t officially supported on iPad. It works 100% though, even though it’s not supported. I am currently reviewing another app that does similar things so once the review is ready I’ll post it.
Hello how in 2019 what you recommend 🍎 tablet or undroid it?
It depends on many different factors. What is your level of vision? What operating system are you familiar with? What is your budget? Are you going to be using magnification or screen reader? You can check out one of my most recent videos talking about android versus Apple to get my opinions on which is better.
@@theblindlife hello thank you so much for answering my question, I don't have vition problems, but I have a friend that he is 78 years old he has dimacula deteriorated, he still can see some, he can drive a little, for him is very hard to do paperwork, read labels and details like that, he doesn't have any system at home, he live by himself he never got married, he cannot spend to much money, and he Start been depress, we bought him laptop and call intern company to set up everything, but was so hard for him to see the keyword, so I trying to find how can I help him.
I don't know what to do.
Thank you so much for your videos they are very interesting.
Thank you so much.
For me this is the best app of the year.
I wish there was an alternative to or cam because it’s so spend it. Too bad seeing AI hasn’t developed a glasses version. 0:23
Do you have to have Voice Over on for seeing AI to work?
No, not at all. The quick read and everything else will still read out loud to you. The only thing that won’t be read out loud is the name of the channels and the information in the menu system.
Indeed an awesome app. I got and it sweet.
Is it possible to save a complete book and read it later as an audio book on this App
+Heeeyak you can save your scan as a text document and listen to it later, but you’re unable to take multiple pictures and save as one document. If you’re looking for that functionality, you should try cayenneFB reader
There is a handwriting channel and there is also a light channel afterwords
Not available in Australia.
Hopefully they release it soon
Microsoft is working Hard man :)
I got it the day it came out.
Amazing how far AI has come. Pretty soon SkyNet will become self aware. LOL
+LEXPIX then we'll be food for the machines!
Thanks!
Is this app still available? I couldnt find it to load on ipad
That’s because it’s technically only available for iPhone. However it works perfectly on the iPad as well. When you search for it, click on the filter in the top left corner and change it to iPhone only. Then you will find the app and be able to download it.
Hi,please help me about this applications language!
My father is blind.He need to use this application but it just support English version.I want to you add another languages to this application,actually Turkish.(We actually need to Turkish version.) Can you help me?This application is so useful and my father and another blinds need to use this application!
What should i do?
It’s a Microsoft app so you’ll have to contact them about changing the language. I really have no idea how to change it, sorry.
Can all of these apps be used on both Androids and iPhones?
Unfortunately this app is only available on iOS devices. It’s not supported by android.
No, Android doesn't have seen a I but it does have some apps that fills some of the same purposes of it Google has Lookout that fills the text and barcode reading functions of seeing a I and Sullivan Plus as those functions long with the face recognition function. Also, you do have super sense and speak! They're also fill some of the functions and I cannot forget about Envision AI but that one is a pay app.
Have you heard anything about using Alexa / echo by blind people ?
Yes, we use it all the time for a wide variety of actions. I have a few videos on my channel showing some of the things I do with it. It’s a very useful tool for the visually impaired!
that is such a good video that that you made one time I was on my iPhone and there's a great scene to take a picture of it in my bedroom I took a whole bunches of them well let's say I am I am we took two in the course she was it kept on saying something went wrong please try again in a sentence my Feedback to Microsoft and they tried their best to fix it and of course stay past the issue want to tell your team but of course this was a very very good video
Is there something for android sam?
Yes, there’s an app called InVision and one called Supersense.
It sounds very useful
This us,amazing!
Which one is for android?
There is an app called InVision Ai which has very similar features and is for android. One thing to note though is that it is a paid app, not free
Hey Sam tried the enail 2x didn't go thru can u send me ine?
Real cool Sam
After I took three pictures the app was able to recognize the person but not the gender and not age.
That's super cool
I've just the person option on my wife. It just said that there is a person 4 feet away. No gender or age. How come ?
You have to take a picture for it to tell you the age and gender
Great!
Nice app, but only works if you have ios 10 or higher
Good to know!
I wonder how Microsoft makes money on this app..? Any one knows how??
Can Seeing ai read Bangla language?
I’m not sure but it’s a free application so you can just download it and check if it supports that language.
Great app
Bello TV show
Bell I am TV movie girl
i wonder how well the person mode would be with transgender people
Dthis sucks, this is unavaiable in Polish appstore. Buuu...
Yeah apparently it's not available in UK or Australia either. Hopefully they release it soon
The Blind Spot Thanks !
