## Description

This app uses your camera to read text out loud to you. It saves your pictures in a gallery so you can listen to them again later. OCR Reader is simple &amp; privacy-respecting. It was inspired by vision problems experienced by one of the authors, and we hope it will help you, too.<br><br>OCR Reader uses Android&#39;s built-in text-to-speech and Google&#39;s ML Kit for text recognition. Corresponding privacy and security considerations may apply.<br><br>The app was based in part on open-source code from https://github.com/android/camera-samples
