Microsoft has released a utility for blind people

The new app works on the basis of the neural network.

World-renowned Microsoft has released a new app Seeing AI for people with visual impairments.

The company announced on the official website.

The application works through a neural network: when the user moves the camera at the subject, the software recognizes it and reads the result. So people who have lost vision, can receive information about the objects that surround them, without touching them.

If the camera put on a person, the application will describe it, noting the height, hair color, approximate age. Also, the user can take a picture of a man and enter his name in the program. In case the friend gets in the way of the owner of the application, the program identificeret it.

Along with this are the program that allows blind people to search for items by typing the name of the object. For example, bill, clothes, some food, equipment. However, the application can run in unlimited mode, recognizing all around.

It is known that free app Seeing AI is only available for users of Apple mobile devices in the United States. Microsoft has not yet reported, when the program will spread to the whole world.
