Seeingai is my new Go To app for reading. I prefer to ‘Recognize a Document’ vs. reading text. A little hint: if you go into settings which you will find after selecting the three white lines in the upper left part of the screen, change the order so that recognize documents is on the very left and comes up first when opening the app. I suggest downloading the app or looking at YouTube videos. It is very simple, the text can’t be read aloud, paused or stopped at any time. And the text can be enlarged quite a bit for your reading convenience! I just wanted to share this because it’s so handy and this app can help recognize currency and food items or any grocery item with a barcode.

Today, I was very impressed and excited after trying the
HUMANWARE PRODIGI CONNECT. This is a multifunctional tool for people who have difficulty reading and seeing details and glasses or contacts will not help.
The magnification was vert clear. It was easy for me to use basic functions without assistance. I love ❤️ the read aloud function (OCR: Optical Character Recognition). Very natural and clear sounding. Best of all, while I was listening to the text, not only was it accurate, the font/text size could be enlarged so that I was EASILY reading each word as it was being spoken.
This portable video / electronic magnifier is extremely light, portable and would make reading pleasurable for me. Being able to use this at work, take it home and use it in the kitchen to read fcooking instructions, Nutritional information, and incoming mail would be a pleasure.
I was NOT asked to review this product.
I might as well add that this type of product is very helpful for many people who have macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, retinitis pigmentosa, optical issues and any vision impairment and challenges.

This product for people who are blind or visually unique, might be interesting to you!
