Ratings and Reviews
Not fully tested with voiceover but...
This app is fantastic!
I just got my dads hospital discharge letter which was folded up in my pocket, unfolded it and scanned it while holding the letter roughly in my hand. The app quickly scanned and analyses the letter that was full of technical information and in a table format. The app reformatted the document and presented it as reformatted plain text on the screen and got it 100% correct and totally readable. I tried the same with seeing AI and KNFB reader and they didn’t know what the duck they were looking at I even spread the white document out on the floor which is dark and neither seeing AI or KNFB reader had a clue!! The only issue is that this app tells me that it’s the 14 day evaluation copy which means at some point you must have to pay for it and I can’t find anywhere where they say how much it costs!

This is an amazing app for blind and partially sighted people to use
This app has changed my whole world. I have the envision glasses as well which makes it all hands-free which is amazing.

Dear Rae, Thank you for your encouraging words, and for sharing your rating with the community! Should you come across any inquires, we are always ready to address all your concerns at support@letsenvision.com.
Very frustrating!
Is there no choice of voices?
This definitely works, but the pronunciation is so far off for some words it’s as if the app doesn’t recognise the word. Also, it’s reading more of the document than is shown on my screen, making it very difficult to know where to point the camera. And it reads out the punctuation which just renders the document incomprehensible.
So it gets 2 stars - works, is easy to use.
But voice is terrible, hearing the punctuation is nonsense unless I wanted to write an accurate copy of what is being read to me (and why would I?). Not being able to tell where it’s about to start reading, when it’s reading off the screen, isn’t at all useful.

Dear Bob,
Thank you for sharing your questions on the Envision App. Yes, the voices can be changed on both iOS and Android platforms!
Please reach out to us directly at support@letsenvision.com, and we’ll be happy to share the proper steps to help you adjust the voices and ensure you have the best possible experience with the Envision App.
