Supersense - AI for Blind Android

Supersense - AI for Blind

Helps blind and visually impaired to read, find objects, and explore places

Features & Capabilities

Supersense is the smartest assistive app that helps blind and visually impaired users to read, find objects, and explore places independently. It provides a set of digital eyes to make the physical world more accessible for the blind and low vision community.

Supersense uses the power of AI to not only describe things but actually solve problems for blind and visually impaired users. Users can independently:
- Read texts, documents and handwriting quickly using our unique auto camera guidance system
- Locate specific objects such as a chair, door, trashcan, or person around by scanning the environment with the camera
- Explore new and unfamiliar environments and hear about the objects that are around
- Read texts on photos and PDFs from other apps. Simply share the files to Supersense and it will read it for you in seconds.

Every single feature works without an internet connection so that they can be used in any situation.

The app has full TalkBack accessibility support and is available in multiple languages.

Supersense is developed by Mediate, an MIT-spinoff AI start-up based in Boston. Mediate develops innovative computer vision systems with the support of the National Science Foundation and the US Department of Veterans Affairs. This app is just the first step in our mission to develop groundbreaking AI solutions for people with visual disabilities. We have developed the app with principles of human-centered design and with the assistance of blind and visually impaired users. We also partnered with many organizations that help the blind and low vision community.

This is an incredible app that is super helpful 4 VI, because I am visually impaired, and this really helps the only thing is well in exploring mode, I would like it to tell me more than one thing at a time, as long as any also any text in the scene without having to switch to text mode.

4/5- Explore surroundings- Scan around to have the app describe what it "thinks" is there. 60ish % accurate, calling a dog a cat/ pig... square carpet a computer etc... can be funnymore scans= better results. I believe this can improve with further user input- have users be able to correct it? ...to further train the model? I can see(maybe a bad pun here...) how this app can be of huge assistance to someone that is visually impaired but also a learning tool for say someone learning English..
