Description
Lookout uses computer vision and generative AI to assist people with low vision or blindness in getting things done faster and more easily. Using your phone's camera, Lookout makes it easier to get more information about the world around you and do daily tasks more efficiently like reading text & documents, sorting mail, putting away groceries, and more.
Built in collaboration with the blind and low-vision community, Lookout supports Google's mission to make the world's information universally accessible to everyone.
Lookout offers seven modes:
• Text: Scan text and hear it read aloud while doing things like sorting mail and reading signs, using Text mode.
• Documents: Capture a whole page of text or handwriting using Documents mode. Available in over 30 languages.
• Explore: Identify objects, people, and text in surroundings using Explore mode.
• Currency: Identify banknotes quickly and reliably using Currency mode, with support for US Dollars, Euros, and Indian Rupees.
• Food labels: Identify packaged foods by their label or barcodes using Food labels mode. Available in over 20 countries.
• Find: Scan surroundings to find objects like doors, bathrooms, cups, vehicles, and more using Find mode. Find mode can also tell you the direction and distance to the object, depending on device capabilities.
• Images: Capture, describe, and ask questions about an image using Images mode. Image descriptions and Q&A available globally in English only.
Lookout is available in more than 30 languages, and runs on devices with Android 6 and above. Devices with 2GB or more RAM are recommended.
