Features & Capabilities

Supersense is the smartest and simplest scanner app designed for blind and visually impaired users to read any text format, currency, or product details from a barcode independently. With AI, Supersense automatically detects what you are trying to scan, guides you on how to point the camera, and reads content in the correct format, minimizing time and frustration.

Key features include Smart Scanner that detects text, documents, currency, and barcodes; Smart Guidance to position the camera for accuracy; Quick Read for instant text; multi-page scanning; currency recognition; barcode data; object exploration; image/PDF import; and a read history. Most features work offline, with full VoiceOver accessibility and multilingual support. Developed by Mediate, an MIT-spinoff committed to human-centered AI for people with visual disabilities.

User Reviews

Supersense is widely praised for its accessibility, ease of use, and powerful scanning and reading capabilities for blind users. Users highlight fast, accurate OCR (including handwritten text), reliable text-to-speech, and useful AI features like Smart Scan, along with Braille display support and responsive customer service. Core concerns center on price and perceived value, intermittent issues with multi-page scans after updates, OCR struggles with multi-column layouts, and some reliability gaps in object finding. Overall, it’s a transformative tool for many, with room for price adjustments and reliability improvements.

Pros

Highly accessible and easy to use for blind users; supports braille displays.
Excellent scanning/OCR quality, including handling complex layouts and handwritten notes.
Text-to-speech reads text aloud with a natural voice.
Advanced AI features (Smart Scan) providing detailed results.
Responsive support and ongoing updates.

Cons

Expensive subscription; price/value concerns.
Multi-page scan occasionally fails to finish after updates.
OCR struggles with multi-column text layouts (reads across top lines, gibberish).
Object finding/recognition not reliable for locating certain items or people.
Limited language support; requests for more languages (e.g., Arabic).

I downloaded the app for my husband’s IPhone, and like it. It is easy to use and free. My husband is blind, and we’ve decided to explore his use for an iPhone!

I am finding this app extremely difficult to use. Not only that, but the photos that I have been able to describe with this app have come up with nothing but gibberish, and the document reader says that not all text is visible, but yet when I view this photo, which by the way is from my photo gallery, so I'm not taking pictures, when I review it with other apps, it tells me very, very clearly what the document says. I am not impressed with this app at all.

I so enjoy the times that I use Supersense to read mail, newsletters, and just odds and ends of things that I need to be informed about. I enjoy it features on the premium version. Glad to be able to use it with a braille display.
