LookTel Video - Real Time Object, OCR, Landmark, & Tag Recognition with Accessible Interface

LookTel combines the power of a Smartphone with advanced "artificial vision" software to create a helpful electronic assistant for anyone who is visually impaired or blind. You can use LookTel to automatically scan and recognize objects such as money, packaged goods, CDs, DVDs, and medication bottles, as well as landmarks. Point the device video camera at what you wish to "see" and it will pronounce the name very quickly in clear and easy to understand speech. LookTel can be taught to recognize all the objects and landmarks you wish to identify. With a small amount of help from a sighted assistant one can easily teach LookTel to be your helpful assistant for many tasks where vision makes a difference in your independence. LookTel also incorporates a text reader allowing users to get access to print media.

this is a really helpful tool for the visually impaired. As mobile technology starts to take this group into greater consideration access to intelecutal information will become more widespread especially as we have an aging population. visit i-send.co

@dgreatll @dgreatll Touching the screen a voice says which function you are touching, when a blind person walks around his house he knows where the cupboards are and knows how to open them and points the phone into the cupboard. Not every blind person is completely blind but visually impaired. They see light and shapes but aren't able to read. Watch my words in less than twenty years the blind can see with camera's in their eye sockets and nanowires to the visual center of their brains.
