Features & Capabilities

Seeing AI is a free, AI-powered Chrome extension designed to assist the blind and low vision community by narrating the visual world around them. It reads text aloud with document alignment and formatting, describes photos with rich detail, and allows users to interact by asking questions about the content.

This extension supports daily tasks such as scanning barcodes and QR codes for product information, recognizing people with saved photos, estimating age and expression, identifying currency and colors, and providing ambient light feedback. It also integrates with other apps to describe photos and videos shared from Mail, Photos, WhatsApp, and more.

Constantly evolving through community feedback and AI advancements, Seeing AI empowers users to gain greater independence and engagement with their surroundings through seamless narration and intelligent description features.
