Exploring the App

[Ricky] Hi, I'm Ricky Enger, and today we're gonna check out how to use an app along with the camera on our phone to read text and identify things around us.

The app is called Seeing AI, and we can use it to read street signs and room numbers, menus, mail, and even to figure out the money in our wallet and the products in our pantry. With this one little app, our phone can speak aloud so much useful info about what's around us. It's really cool. We're using VoiceOver in this workshop so that we can do everything on our phone without looking at the screen.

If you'd rather do things on your Apple device without VoiceOver, check out our series on using Seeing AI with low vision. And if you're using Android, we have a couple series just for you as well. Now, if you're checking out these workshops and you've not used VoiceOver much before, it may help to get a little more familiar with it before you dive into this series.

And hey, we've got you covered with a great group of workshops on learning everything you need to know to get up to speed with VoiceOver. Alright, so let's talk about Seeing AI. The app is totally free, and if you don't have it yet, head over to the app store on your phone, type in Seeing AI and it should come right up.

[Narrator] Now, that you've had a chance to learn a bit with us, we'd like to learn more about you, your email address, name, how you heard about Hadley, and your relationship to vision loss. Learning more will give us a better understanding of how to personalize Hadley just for you. And don't worry, everything you share with us online will be kept safe and secure.

Of course, if you'd prefer to talk through these questions, we are just a phone call away at 800-323-4238. Taking these few steps saves your preferences so you can continue right where you left off and track your progress every time you log on. Plus, it connects you to the Hadley community and help sustain our funding to keep Hadley free of charge. And last but not least, it gives you direct access to the Hadley team. So, now is your chance to sign up and join us.
