V-Assistents

Now free: Photograph, recognise, translate and read complete pages of text with an accessible interface.

V-Assistent is a free reading app for blind and visually impaired people. Take a photo of a letter, document, menu or complete book page. The app recognises the text and reads it aloud.

Text in another language can be translated automatically into English and then read aloud. The output deliberately focuses on recognised text and ignores other visible elements.

The app is free to use. There are no in-app purchases or subscriptions.

Features: • Take a photo or select an image from the photo library • Recognise and read complete pages of text • Translate foreign-language text • Pause, resume and repeat speech output • Large controls and clear contrasts • VoiceOver and TalkBack support • German, English and French app interface

V-Assistent is a project of the AI Centre for Blind and Visually Impaired People.
