Seeing Ai is an app available on iOS that uses the camera of the device to perform several tasks such as reading text to recognizing faces. The app can be downloaded from the app store and is free. It is made by Microsoft.
To navigate around the app simply select the correct channel from the tabs that are located at the bottom of the screen. Then select one of the following channels.
Short Text
This channel will automatically read out loud to you any text that the camera can focus on. Simply point the device to where the text is located and it will read it back to you.
Documents
This channel will scan full pages of text and allow you to save them onto your device. You will hear instructions to correctly position the camera and will scan the document automatically. Once the document has been scanned you can then have it read back aloud or adjust the size of the text. You can also use the share menu to export the document.
Product
This will scan any bar-code on a product and read aloud what it is. It will automatically read the bar-code when it is in position of the camera.

If you press the screen when a person is in range it will give you a short description of the person with there age mood and some facial features such as beard or glasses. You can also teach this channel to recognize people and identify them by there name.
