For an initial release of an app that has OCR, color detection, people count and description, scene description, and more, very impressive! One break or make test of an OCR app is out of focus text that isn't perfectly straight. Holding a bag of candies and scanning the ingredients, out of focus and not aligned, did quite well! Impressed and will be quite useful for those with limited vision or aging eyes. Definitely fast enough to be used besides magnifying glasses. Fun, fast, useful!

Thanks for the app! Wishlist for future versions: don't lock text recognition language to the device's system, allow for several packs to be downloaded and switching between languages in-app; ideally, make AI recognize the language used in scanned text and switch automatically or warn that the text's language doesn't match any installed pack. An integration with a translation service would be another step forward. Edited

Dear Microsoft Team,I am a regular user of the Seeing AI app and find it to be a very useful tool for visually impaired individuals. I appreciate the efforts of the developers of this app.I would like to make a request. I would like you to add some new features to the app that could make it even more useful.Navigation Mode: In this mode, the app could provide voice-guided directions to the user, such as "Turn left," "Go straight," etc. This would make it much easier for visually impaired people Edited

I can't find the "browse photos" button..... I was hoping to use this app to read out documents/texts already on my phone, but I can't figure out how to do that! Then I thought I might take a screen shot of my Messages and have that read out to me.... no. Also, there is no Help Site, so I am stuck! (Yes, there is help info, but it's very limited and has no search function. One star for now, but if the developers can instruct me I will give more
