low vision by narrating the world around them. For LBS agencies, Seeing AI
offers tools that can enhance learning and accessibility for visually impaired
learners. Key features include:

Instantly reads and narrates short text as it appears in front of the camera,
facilitating real-time access to printed materials.
·
Document
Scanning: Provides
audio guidance to capture full pages of text, recognizing and narrating the
content along with its original formatting, which is beneficial for reading
longer documents.
·
Product
Identification: Scans
barcodes to identify products, aiding in tasks such as grocery shopping or
organizing materials.
·
Scene
